Diogo Filipe Conceição Tavares (born 27 July 1987) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Calcio Como in Italy, as a forward.

Football career

Born in Lisbon, Tavares was a product of Sporting Clube de Portugal's prolific youth system, but never appeared professionally for its first team, moving abroad in 2006 to join Italian side Genoa CFC, where he spent two uneventful seasons which included as much loans.

In 2008–09, Tavares signed with Frosinone Calcio also in Serie B, in joint-ownership with Genoa. In January 2010, he moved to lowly U.S. Pergocrema 1932, in another loan.

In late June 2010, Tavares was bought permanently by Fronisone along with Salvatore Aurelio, as part of Robert Gucher's deal.^[1][2] He only appeared in one fourth of the league matches during the season and only scored once, as his team ranked 22nd and last in the second level.

On 28 August 2011, Tavares left for Calcio Como, as part of the deal that sent Simone Fautario in the opposite direction.^[3][4]
