Marco António Simões Caneira (born 9 February 1979) is a Portuguese professional footballer. He preferably plays as a central defender, but is equally at ease on the right or the left flank.

A youth graduate at Sporting, he started his career at the club, also appearing briefly for Benfica in his country, and represented Valencia in La Liga for a couple of years before returning to Sporting. Over the course of ten seasons, he amassed Primeira Liga totals of 126 games and one goal; he retired in 2015, after a four-year stint with Videoton.

Internationally, Caneira appeared for Portugal at two World Cups and gained 25 caps in six years.

Club career

Early years

Born in Sintra, Lisbon, Caneira began his career at the Sporting Clube de Portugal youth system, eventually graduating to the senior squad and making his first-team debuts while still only a junior (aged 17). After signing a professional contract, he immediately went on loan to fellow top division outfit S.C. Beira-Mar.

Caneira, along with fellow Sporting players Paulo Costa and Vasco Faísca, was then involved in a somewhat complicated 2000 transfer between F.C. Alverca, who had gained 50% of their rights, and F.C. Internazionale Milano. He was immediately sent to Reggina Calcio, in a co-ownership bid.[1][2] After a season he was bought back from Reggina[3] and sent to S.L. Benfica, on a two-year-long loan.

Bordeaux / Valencia

After 2001–02, however, Caneira left for another loan spell, this time with Ligue 1 giants FC Girondins de Bordeaux, where he enjoyed a successful season. Indeed, at the end of the campaign, the club officially signed him from Inter, handing him a four-year contract.[4]

After his second season at Bordeaux Caneira was loaned out again, this time to Valencia CF, which the French had faced twice in the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League.[5] His move became permanent in summer 2005.[6]

Sporting

After one 1/2 seasons at Valencia, Caneira returned to Portugal and Sporting in January 2006,[7] where he displayed consistent defensive performances, also scoring a rare goal against former owners Inter Milan in the following season's Champions League, in a 12 September home win (1–0).[8] In August 2007, although he had reached an agreement for a further five-year loan with the Lions,[9] he returned to the Quique Flores-led team.

After appearing rarely on the second Valencia stint, Caneira returned for a third one with Sporting, for €3.5 million, signing a four-year contract on 25 June 2008.[10] He appeared in 32 official games in his first season (21 in the league, helping his team to the second place), but fell out of favour in the following years, inclusively not being given a jersey for the 2010–11 campaign, and he left the club in June 2011.

Late career

In the very last day of the 2011 summer transfer window, 32-year-old Caneira signed with Videoton FC in Hungary, sharing teams with three compatriots, including former international teammate Paulo Sousa, who acted as the club's manager. On 25 October 2012 he scored only his fourth goal as a professional, netting from close range after a corner kick in an eventual 2–1 home win against FC Basel for the season's UEFA Europa League.[11]

International career

A Portuguese international since 2002, Caneira was selected for the squad that appeared in that year's FIFA World Cup, but did not play in the tournament held in Japan and South Korea. He made his debut on 27 March, in a 1–4 friendly loss to Finland in Porto.[12]

Left out of the squad for UEFA Euro 2004 he returned for the 2006 World Cup, playing in Portugal's last group stage match against Mexico (2–1 win).

Personal life

On 16 January 2005, Caneira's 8-month daughter was victim of sudden death, shortly before Valencia's La Liga match against CA Osasuna. The two teams finally decided on playing the game, which ended 0–0.[13]
