Luciano José Pereira da Silva (born 16 March 1980) is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Career

[edit]

Luciano joined Belgian club K.F.C. Germinal Beerschot from Tombense in 2000.[2] In December 2003 he saved three penalties against Lierse, helping his club progress to the quarter-finals of the Belgian Cup.[2]

Upon Luciano's signing for Eredivisie club FC Groningen, the technical manager of the club, Henk Veldmate, described him as "a spectacular keeper who, because of that, has a lot of risk in his game play".[3] In 2009 he received the Silver Shoe award for the second-best player of the Eredivisie season.[4]

On 24 February 2010, Luciano extended his contract with FC Groningen until 2012.[5] On 14 February 2014, he and Groningen agreed to dissolve his contract so he could return to Brazil for a knee surgery.[6]
