Timeline

1909

He scored a Free Kick on his debut on 25 August, equalising in a 1–1 home draw with Bologna F.C. 1909, and added further goals in a to open a loss at Juventus F.C. and conclude a draw with Inter Milan, matching his best tally for a top-flight season.

1986

Miguel Luís Pinto Veloso (born 11 May 1986) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Italian club Pisa.

Mainly a defensive midfielder, he can also operate as an attacking left-back.

He started his career with Sporting CP, for whom he appeared in 156 games in all competitions, and spent several years in Italy with Genoa and Hellas Verona, making over 200 Serie A appearances.

In four years with Dynamo Kyiv in Ukraine, he won as many domestic honours.

1992

In the second game, on the 7th, he headed home after a 92nd-minute corner Kick for the only goal.

Veloso's father, António, was also a footballer.

2003

Veloso acted as captain for Portugal at the 2003 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, helping the nation to emerge victorious on home soil after defeating Spain 2–1 in an Iberian final played in Viseu.

He was elected the tournament's Golden Player, and subsequently also helped the team reach the quarter-finals in that year's FIFA World Cup held in Finland.

2004

There, he was promoted to the first team for the 2004–05 pre-season, which took place mainly in England; he started out as a central defender.

In order to receive more playing time, Veloso was loaned to C.D. Olivais e Moscavide in the third division, and he helped them to promote to the Segunda Liga with a career-best seven goals.

As a result, he was recalled by the Lions — though it appeared difficult for him to grab a place in the starting team, because of the presence of players with much more experience such as Ânderson Polga, Tonel, Marco Caneira or Custódio — and ended up playing 23 Primeira Liga matches during the campaign as his team finished second.

He was equally impressive in his debut in the UEFA Champions League, a 1–0 home win against Inter Milan where he stopped Patrick Vieira and Luís Figo from playing effectively, earning Player of the match accolades in the process.

2007

A full international since 2007, Veloso earned 56 caps for Portugal, appearing at two World Cups and as many European Championships.

Born in Coimbra, Veloso started his football career at S.L. Benfica, but was rejected for being slightly overweight at the time, entering Lisbon neighbours Sporting CP's youth system at the age of 14.

In 2007–08, Veloso was ever-present in Sporting's central midfield alongside fellow youth graduate João Moutinho.

The club again lost the league to FC Porto, and the same befell in the following season, with the player being involved in some run-ins with manager Paulo Bento.

In the previous off-season and the following January transfer window, he attracted interest from several Premier League sides, but nothing materialised.

On 14 August 2007, following impressive performances for the under-21s in the 2007 UEFA European Championship in June (the skipper scored twice in three games, albeit in a group stage exit), Veloso was called up to the full side for the first time, for a Euro 2008 qualifier against Armenia, but only made his international debut against Azerbaijan on 13 October.

In the finals' group stage, he appeared in the 2–0 loss against Switzerland, a game in which nine out of 11 regular starters were rested.

2009

Veloso helped Sporting reach the last 16 in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League, after scoring in both legs of the 4–2 aggregate victory over Everton.

They could only, however, finish fourth in the domestic league.

2010

On 30 July 2010, Veloso was sold to Genoa C.F.C. in Italy for €9 million, while Alberto Zapater went the other way to Sporting for €2 million.

He and compatriot goalkeeper Eduardo debuted in Serie A on 28 August, in a 1–0 win at Udinese Calcio.

Veloso was recalled by coach Carlos Queiroz after a long spell out of the squad, for vital 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches with Denmark and Hungary in September 2009, but did not leave the bench on either occasion; he did take the field when they met the latter again the following month, winning 3–0.

He netted his first international goal in the same competition, in a 4–0 victory over Malta in Guimarães on 14 October.

He was chosen for the finals in South Africa where he made two brief substitute appearances in the group stage, assisting the concluder by Tiago in a 7–0 rout of North Korea.

2011

After a challenging first season at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, his first goal opened a 2–2 home draw with Atalanta B.C. on 11 September 2011.

On 15 November 2011, Veloso scored from a Free Kick as Portugal defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 6–2 at the Estádio da Luz in a play-off for a place at Euro 2012.

He played every minute of their finals campaign in Poland and Ukraine, before being substituted at half-time in extra time of an eventual penalty shootout loss to Spain in the semi-finals.

2012

Veloso moved teams and countries again, signing a four-year contract with FC Dynamo Kyiv of the Ukrainian Premier League on 4 July 2012 after impressing at UEFA Euro 2012; the transfer fee was €7 million, while his €5 million annual salary put him second only to Cristiano Ronaldo as the highest-paid Portuguese footballer.

2014

He played 127 games in all competitions (14 goals) and won four major titles, including the double in the 2014–15 campaign; in that cup campaign he scored twice in a 4–1 semi-final victory over FC Olimpik Donetsk but he and compatriot Vitorino Antunes missed penalties in a shootout defeat of rivals FC Shakhtar Donetsk.

At the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, Veloso was withdrawn at the interval for defender Ricardo Costa in a 4–0 opening defeat to eventual champions Germany.

In the final group game against Ghana, he played at left-back due to Fábio Coentrão's injury; a 2–1 win was not enough to beat the United States' goal difference and advance to the last 16.

2015

In September 2015, after one year in the international wilderness, Veloso was picked by manager Fernando Santos for a friendly with France and a Euro 2016 qualifier against Albania.

2016

On 31 July 2016, 30-year-old Veloso returned to Genoa.

He left the Rossoblù two years later, but returned shortly after agreeing to a new deal.

2019

Veloso signed a one-year contract with Hellas Verona F.C. on 20 July 2019.

2020

On 29 June 2020, with his first season still ongoing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Veloso signed a deal for a second campaign at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi, in which he added two more goals and renewed again.

Serving as captain since the retirement of Giampaolo Pazzini in 2020, he penned a new one-year contract in April 2022.
