Quim
Encyclopedia
Joaquim Manuel Sampaio da Silva, OIH, (born 13 November 1975), aka Quim (kĩ), is a Portuguese
footballer who plays for Sporting de Braga as a goalkeeper.
He played in nearly 400 top division games during his career, in representation of Braga (twelve seasons) and Benfica (six), winning five major titles for the latter.
Quim represented Portugal
at the 2006 World Cup
and in two European Championships
, gaining more than 30 caps
.
Quim moved to Sport Lisboa e Benfica in 2004 and was, at first, intermittent in keeping the goalkeeper spot at his new club, having shared the goal with José Moreira
in the title-winning 2004–05 campaign. Next season, he started as first-choice, but injury to him as well as Moreira saw Marcelo Moretto
being signed during the winter break, controversially snatching a place in the starting eleven.
Quim's fortunes turned around at the beginning of the 2006–07 season, as new coach Fernando Santos announced the former Braga player would be his first goalkeeper. Subsequently, the latter rarely put in a bad performance since regaining first-choice status, even when Santos was dismissed early into the following campaign.
In 2008–09, with Benfica retaining the same three goalkeepers under Quique Flores, Quim started the campaign, lost the job to Moreira in between, was even demoted to third-choice (with Moretto starting in the domestic league cup), and finished again as starter, with the Reds eventually finishing third. He also started the 2009 League Cup final and saved three penalty shootout attempts against Sporting Clube de Portugal for the win.
In 2009–10, Quim played all the matches and minutes as Benfica won the league for the first time in five years, adding to this the honour of being the keeper with less conceded goals (20). At the end of June 2010, however, the 34-year old was released, returning to first professional club Braga, on a three-year deal, but spent his first season on the sidelines, nursing an achilles tendon
injury.
(then Under-18) in 1994, Quim made his senior debut in August 1999 in a 4–0 victory against Andorra
, after which he was Portugal
's third-choice keeper at UEFA Euro 2000, enjoying a short cameo as a substitute in the 3–0 win against Germany
in the group stage's final round, before establishing himself as number one in the 2002 FIFA World Cup
qualifying campaign
. However, a failed drug test saw him miss out on the competition held in South Korea
and Japan
.
Quim would be second-choice for the national side during both Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup
, behind the habitual Ricardo
. He was originally named in the Portugal squad for Euro 2008 but suffered a wrist injury the day before Portugal's first game, ruling him out of the tournament; he was replaced by F.C. Porto's Nuno
.
Quim started the 2010 World Cup
qualifying campaign
as first-choice, but lost his place midway through it to another Braga player, Eduardo, as Portugal eventually qualified. After being league champion for Benfica, he would be left out of the squad for the final stages in South Africa
