Renato João Inácio Margaça (Greek: Ρενάτο Μαργκάσα; born 17 July 1985) is a professional footballer. Mainly a midfielder, he can also operate as a left-back.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Covilhã, Margaça's input at the professional level in his country consisted of six Segunda Liga games with F.C. Alverca in 2004–05. At the end of the season the club folded, and he went on to resume his career in the lower leagues.[2]

In the summer of 2008, Margaça moved to the Cypriot First Division where he remained more than one decade. He started out at Doxa Katokopias FC, signing with AEK Larnaca FC two years later.

On 8 July 2017, six years after arriving there, the 32-year-old Margaça renewed his contract with AC Omonia until June 2020.[3]

International career

[edit]

At youth level, Margaça earned 11 caps for Portugal.[4] On 17 March 2017, after being awarded the country's citizenship, he was called up to the Cyprus national team,[5] making his debut five days later in a 3–1 friendly win over Kazakhstan where he was involved in two of the goals.[6][2]
