Ivo Filipe Cerqueira Damas (born 3 June 1977) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.
Club career
Born in Penafiel, Damas' claim to fame came at the age of 20 when he scored three goals for lowly F.C. Maia in a 4–5 home loss against country giants FC Porto in the Portuguese Cup.[1] He was immediately bought by Sporting CP in January 1998, but his career would never improve from there – he made his debut in the Primeira Liga with F.C. Alverca, and also served a two-year loan at Sporting Clube Lourinhanense, the Lions' feeder club, appearing very rarely for the first team.
From his 2002 release from Sporting onwards, Damas played in almost every level of the Portuguese football league system, for instance representing F.C. Penafiel and A.D. Lousada. For a short period of time, in 2008, he also had an unassuming abroad experience with Cyprus' Olympiakos Nicosia, but returned the following year to his country, joining amateurs A.C. Vila Meã (fourth division).
Currently plays the role of head coach at CCD Sobrosa, a club that militates in the 1st division AF Porto.
