Roberto Calmon Félix


Roberto Calmon Félix, known simply as Roberto, is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as a striker, and is a current manager.
He spent the vast majority of his professional career in Portugal, mainly with Vitória de Guimarães where he arrived at almost 30. He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 95 games and 15 goals over the course of six seasons, adding 133 matches and 38 goals in the Segunda Liga.

Football career

Roberto was born in Linhares, Espírito Santo. During his career he played almost exclusively in Portugal, spending most of his early years in the second division, representing F.C. Maia, Moreirense F.C. and Académica de Coimbra, with which he first arrived in the Primeira Liga, with no impact.
After another slow year, with C.F. Estrela da Amadora, Roberto returned to the second level with G.D. Chaves, F.C. Marco and Varzim SC. In January 2008, after solid performances for the latter, he signed a -year contract with top flight club Vitória SC, still being a relatively important attacking unit – 14 matches, two goals – as it finished third only one year after promoting.
After two more top level seasons with Vitória being used regularly, 32-year-old Roberto joined Asteras Tripoli F.C. in Greece, signing for one year. In March 2011, however, he moved teams and countries again, transferring to Chinese Super League side Beijing Guoan FC.
After retiring in 2014 at his first club Linhares Futebol Clube, Roberto started his managerial career precisely there. After leading them to the Campeonato Capixaba vice-championship, he returned on 6 January 2016.
