Formed at Porto, he amassed Primeira Liga totals of 103 matches and eight goals over five seasons, in representation of as many clubs. He also competed professionally in France, Greece, Croatia and India, winning the national championship twice each with Olympiacos and Dinamo Zagreb.

Machado won six caps for Portugal, making his first appearance in 2010.

Club career

edit

Porto

edit

Born in the Porto neighbourhood of Bairro do Cerco, where he was surrounded by deviant behaviours from an early age, Machado joined FC Porto's youth system at the age of 14.[2] He made his first-team debut in the sixth round of the Taça de Portugal on 21 January 2004, under José Mourinho; he came on as a substitute for Sérgio Conceição, who had just concluded the 4–0 win against U.D. Vilafranquense at the Estádio das Antas.[3] In the summer of 2005 he signed an improved contract until 2010 along with teammate Bruno Vale, before both went on consecutive loans to C.F. Estrela da Amadora and U.D. Leiria.[4]

Machado was loaned again in the following two years, first to Leixões S.C. and then to AS Saint-Étienne in the French Ligue 1. Alongside teammates Diogo Valente and Vieirinha, also loaned by Porto,[5] he was instrumental as the Matosinhos side retained their Primeira Liga status at the season's close.

On 10 July 2008, Machado was loaned to the French club as part of the deal that brought Colombian Fredy Guarín to Porto.[6] He adapted well, becoming an integral part of Saint-Étienne's campaign, scoring twice in his first 16 games – 12 as a starter – and only missing three league matches as they narrowly avoided relegation.[7][8]

Toulouse and Olympiacos

edit

On 2 July 2009, Toulouse FC signed Machado to a four-year deal.[9] In August 2012, after three seasons in which he averaged 30 appearances and four goals, he joined Olympiacos F.C. in Greece for €2,700,000 on a three-year contract.[10][11] He scored his first goal for his new team on 3 November, also providing an assist to Kostas Mitroglou in a 2–0 home victory over OFI Crete FC.[12]

Dinamo Zagreb

edit

Machado joined GNK Dinamo Zagreb on 4 June 2014, on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[13][14] He won a league and cup double in his first season, equalising in a 2–1 home defeat of HNK Rijeka in the semi-finals on 8 April,[15] followed by the winning attempt in the penalty shootout at the end of the goalless final against RNK Split on 20 May.[16]

On 28 July 2015, during a UEFA Champions League play-off round against Molde FK at Stadion Maksimir, club fans booed Machado as he walked off the pitch while being replaced after a poor performance. In return, he made several obscene gestures for which he received a straight red card,[17] being subsequently suspended until further notice.[18] Sharing teams with compatriots Eduardo and Gonçalo Santos, he won a second consecutive double, starting in the 2–1 cup final win over NK Slaven Belupo on 10 May.[19]

Later years

edit

On 2 September 2017, free agent Machado signed with recently promoted C.D. Aves until the end of the season.[20] On 31 August 2018, he joined Indian Super League franchise Mumbai City FC;[21] after suffering an injury in the second half of the match against Jamshedpur FC on 19 December 2019, he was ruled out for the rest of the campaign.[22]

Machado returned to Leixões following 12 years away in September 2020.[23] In his one season back at the Estádio do Mar, he played just under half the fixtures and scored an added-time winner as a late substitute against Académico de Viseu F.C. on 28 February.[24]

In June 2021, Machado retired from playing. He went immediately into being assistant manager at his final club's under-23 team.[25]

International career

edit

Machado was part of the Portugal under-21 team at the 2007 UEFA European Championship.[26] Previously, he won the Under-17 European Championships in 2003.[27]

On 30 September 2010, Machado was called up for the first time to the senior side by newly appointed coach Paulo Bento. He did not make his debut in either of the two UEFA Euro 2012 qualifiers that were scheduled, but later spoke of his smooth integration into the squad and his ambition to eventually earn a regular place in the national team.[28] He made his debut on 17 November, coming on for Nani in the dying minutes of a 4–0 friendly victory against Spain, in Lisbon.[29]
