Ricardo Janota Biography

Ricardo Janota is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on March 10, 1987 in Pero Pinheiro, Portugal. Ricardo Baleia Janota, a Portuguese footballer, was born 10 March 1987. He plays as a goalkeeper for LigaPro club Academico Viseu.

Janota was one the five players Atletico retained because of their need to cut spending. He was the undisputed best-choice goalkeeper in the regular season. However, he shared the promotion group duties as Rui Santos. Atletico did not get promoted and Janota quit the club at the close of the season. He was Estrela da Amadora’s primary goalkeeper for the 2009-10 season, and then he moved up to the Liga de Honra (second-tier) as one the eleven new Trofense signings. As Trofense was close to promotion to Primeira Liga, he was an ineffective substitute in 12 matches. He did not play competitive first-team soccer.

Janota returned to the Segunda Divisão for 2011–12 as Mafra’s regular goalkeeper. He was ever-present until being sent off on 5 February 2012; Mafra had already used all three substitutes, so forward Nuno Sousa had to go in goal for the last few minutes of the match and was unable to prevent Caldas equalising.

While a youngster with Benfica, he represented his country at under-16 level, and was first-choice goalkeeper at the European under-17 championship finals, at which Portugal’s under-17s beat England 3–2 on penalties to win the third- place play-off; Janota saved the decisive penalty. He appeared for the under- 18s in 2005, and was in the squad for the European under-19 championship finals, but as second choice behind Porto’s Igor Araújo. The sixth-place finish achieved in this competition guaranteed qualification for the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup; Janota, by this time an Atlético CP player, was again selected for the squad, but made no appearances.

Janota was an international football player, playing for his country at under-16 and under-19 levels. He also played in Portugal’s team for the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2007, but did not take the field.

Janota was born Pero Pinheiro in Sintra in the Greater Lisbon region. As a 17-year old, Janota made his first professional football appearance in the Primeira Liga youth team Benfica. He defeated Pinhalnovense 2-0 in the Segunda Divisao third tier of Portuguese football. A few days later, Jose Moreira and Quim, the club’s main goalkeepers, were both out of action for six months. Janota was also being treated for an injury. Janota was then called up to train with the first team squad in preparation for the match against Estrela da Amadora. Quim was able to return to the field in time to begin the match. Janota was once again a substitute for the first team in Benfica B’s 2005-06 season. He remained in Portugal after being reported to be interested by Standard Liege in Belgium and Espanyol in Spain.

In late 2006, he played five Segunda Divisao games for Estrela de Vendas Novas. He then went on to Atletico CP. He had a trial with Leon in Spain, and spent the following week with FC Utrecht in October to gain experience. Janota made his senior debut in Atletico’s first-team as a substitute for Filipe Leao during the match against Carregado. He also kept a clean slate against Lusitania the week after. Janota and Leao shared the goalkeeping duties during the rest of the season.

Janota began his career with Benfica. He played twice for their B team in the Segunda Divisão, the third tier of Portuguese football, before moving on to third-tier clubs Estrela de Vendas Novas, Atlético CP and Estrela da Amadora. He spent the 2010–11 season with Liga de Honra (second-tier) Trofense, but never played for the first team. After a season back in the third tier with Mafra, Janota returned to Atlético CP, where he finally made his first appearance in the newly renamed Segunda Liga. He continued his Segunda Liga career with Académico Viseu and Oriental, before returning to Viseu in 2015. He signed for Tondela ahead of the 2016–17 season, and made his Primeira Liga debut in April 2017. That was his last top-flight appearance, and after half a season with Mafra he rejoined Académico Viseu in January 2019.
