Tiago Miguel Baía Pinto (born 1 February 1988) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Turkish club Osmanlıspor as a left back.[1]

Club career

Early years

Pinto was born in Porto. After receiving his first football lessons at S.L. Benfica, although his father was already playing for neighbours Sporting Clube de Portugal, he soon made the same move and completed his formation at the José Alvalade Stadium.

For the 2007–08 season Pinto was loaned to C.D. Olivais e Moscavide in the third division, and spent the following campaign with top level newcomers C.D. Trofense. In September 2009, he cut ties with Sporting and signed with S.C. Braga.

During his first and only season, Pinto made no competitive appearances as the Minho side finished in second position.

Rio Ave

Pinto was released in the 2010 summer, and joined fellow top flight club Rio Ave FC. On 3 September 2012 he was loaned to Spanish side Deportivo de La Coruña for one year, without the option to purchase. He was presented before 200 fans at the Estadio Riazor and joined several compatriots at his new team,[1] making his official debut on 1 November by playing the entirety of a 1–1 home draw against RCD Mallorca in the last-32 of the Copa del Rey[2] and also playing three minutes in place of Juan Domínguez in the goalless second leg four weeks later, with the subsequent elimination on the away goals rule;[3] between those two cup matches he played his first game in La Liga, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 3–5 loss at Real Zaragoza.[4]

On 11 January 2013, as he was only third-choice at his position behind Ayoze and Evaldo,[1][5] Pinto's loan at Deportivo ended and he moved to Segunda División's Racing de Santander for the remainder of the campaign.[6] His only goal for the Cantabrians arrived on 23 February, concluding a 2–0 home win over CD Mirandés,[7] but the club eventually suffered a second consecutive relegation.

In 2014, Pinto was an unused substitute as Rio Ave lost the finals of the Taça da Liga and the Taça de Portugal to Benfica. He played against the same team in that year's Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, missing in the penalty shootout to hand the opposition the title.[8]

International career

Pinto gained 25 caps for Portugal at youth level, including two for the under-21s. He was called up to the full side for the first time on 31 March 2015 for a friendly with Cape Verde, remaining on the bench in the 0–2 defeat in Estoril.[9]

Personal life

Pinto is the son of João Vieira Pinto, whom successfully represented Benfica, Sporting and the Portuguese national team.[10] In June 2009, he married Bárbara Brilhante at the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon,[11] and the couple have a son and a daughter together.[12]

Pinto's uncle, Sérgio, competed mostly in the Portuguese lower divisions, also spending a season at England's Bradford City.[13]
