He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 162 matches and 12 goals over ten seasons, representing Belenenses, Estrela da Amadora and Olhanense in the competition. He added 164 games and 26 goals in the Segunda Liga, for four clubs.
In 2017, Duarte began working as a coach.
Playing career edit
Born in Lisbon, Duarte joined the youth ranks of local C.F. Os Belenenses as an 11-year-old, making his Primeira Liga debut for the club in the 1999–2000 season (seven matches, one goal). He took his game to the Segunda Liga in 2003, representing in quick succession Associação Naval 1º de Maio and Leixões SC.[2]
After signing in summer 2006 from C.F. Estrela da Amadora, Duarte went on to spend the better part of his 19-year senior career with S.C. Olhanense, winning the 2008–09 Liga de Honra[3] and remaining with the team in the top division for the following five seasons, with him as captain.[4][5][6] He rescinded his contract in November 2014, and moved to their Algarve rivals S.C. Farense for the new year.[7]
Coaching career edit
After retiring in 2015 at the age of 37, Duarte worked as an assistant to Lázaro Oliveira at Farense, and took the helm on the latter's dismissal on 2 April 2017.[8] In his first full season in charge of the side from Faro he won promotion from the third division with a penalty shootout victory against U.D. Vilafranquense in the semi-finals,[9] but lost the championship game 2–1 to C.D. Mafra on 10 June 2018.[10]
On 4 February 2019, Duarte resigned from Farense, who were tenth in second tier after a five-game winless run that left them that many points outside the relegation zone.[11] He returned to the same league on 4 October at second-from-bottom Casa Pia A.C. after the sacking of Luís Loureiro[12] but, on 17 December, he quit having won once in nine fixtures and the team's ranking unaltered.[13]
Duarte was appointed manager of S.C. Braga's under-23 side in June 2022.[14] On 3 April 2024, he was promoted to the first team following Artur Jorge's departure to Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas and until the arrival of Daniel Sousa at the start of the following campaign.[15]
