Filipe Gui Paradela Maciel da Costa (born 30 August 1984) is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a midfielder.

Football career

Early career

Born in Lisbon, Costa began his career at S.L. Benfica, also being loaned to Belenenses and Amora during his formative years.[1]

In 2003, he moved to Italy's Reggiana, but failed to appear in any games in the season's Serie C1/A.[2]

Greece

In January 2005, Costa joined Superleague Greece club Ionikos.[3] Exactly two years later he was loaned to AEL, which eventually won the domestic cup as the player appeared in one match in the tournament, the 31 January quarter-finals against Kerkyra.[4]

During his two-and-a-half-year stay in the country, Costa was voted by fans and league players and coaches for two straight years to the annual All-Star game, held between the best Greek and foreign players.[5][6]

England / Romania

On 1 September 2007, Costa signed a one-year contract with Leeds United.[7] He made seven appearances, all but one as a substitute, and was sent off in a rare start, a game against Bury for the Football League Trophy. His injuries otherwise largely prevented him from playing.[8]

In mid-January 2008, Costa joined Scottish club Falkirk for a trial, but returned to Elland Road after this proved unsuccessful.[9] He was released in April.[10]

For the 2008–09 campaign, Costa moved to Romania with FC Politehnica Timișoara, with the contract including a special clause that stated it could be terminated if the player suffered an injury. He was released on 4 August 2008.[11]

Bulgaria

In September 2008, Costa signed for CSKA Sofia.[12] He made his club debut on 4 October, against FC Vihren Sandanski, playing a total of five matches during the season.[13] In January of the following year CSKA released the player, via arbitration commission of the Bulgarian Football Union.[14]

On 28 January 2009, Costa joined Levski Sofia on a three-year deal.[15] He made his club debut also against Vihren, in the first game of the second round of the championship, a 3–2 win. On 9 May he appeared in The Eternal Derby against ex-team CSKA, with a 2–0 away win; in total, he contributed with eight matches for an eventual league win.[13][16]

On 21 June 2009, it was announced that Levski was trying to sell Costa.[17] Club coach Emil Velev decided to sell the player due to his poor performances in the second round of the campaign.[18]

Return to Portugal

On 13 July 2009, Costa returned to Portugal after six years, joining Nacional.[19] He was not registered for the season's UEFA Europa League by the Madeira club[20] and, on 5 January 2010, without making any official appearances, he was released,[21] quickly signing with Estoril in the Segunda Liga.
