Club career
Coelho moved from hometown's S.C. Covilhã to F.C. Porto in 2005 to complete his formation, although he had already appeared for the former's first team, and went on to serve three loans in the following three seasons, including two 1/2 at second division's Portimonense SC, where he played alongside namesake Nuno André Coelho.
In July 2009, Coelho was again loaned by Porto, moving to Spain's Villarreal CF.[1] However, the deal eventually broke, and he stayed in Portugal, penning a two-year contract with Académica de Coimbra.
On 9 June 2011, after being regularly used in two top flight seasons by the Students, Coelho signed a four-year deal with S.L. Benfica.[2] In August, deemed surplus to requirements as all Portuguese players by manager Jorge Jesus, he was loaned to S.C. Beira-Mar.
International career
Coelho was capped for Portugal at under-19 level, appearing for the nation at the 2006 UEFA European Football Championship and the 2006 Lusophony Games.
The following year, he was picked for the squad that competed in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada.[3]
