Gonçalo Paciência leaves Sport Recife: “Time to move on” | OneFootball

Gonçalo Paciência announced this Friday his departure from Sport, becoming free to look for a new adventure. The Portuguese striker said goodbye on social media to the Pernambuco club, which ended up relegated to the second division after finishing in last place in the Brasileirão.

“Moving forward and preparing for what’s to come. Thank you, Sport Recife, it was a pleasure to represent the greatest in the Northeast. On my side, dedication, professionalism, and respect were always at the highest level! I wish for a quick return to the heights that Sport deserves,” wrote the 31-year-old player.

Trained at FC Porto, the striker represented Leão da Ilha for only one season, scoring 5 goals in 22 matches. Paciência joined the club through Pepa, who started 2025 as the team’s coach but was dismissed after just a few rounds.
