The player rescinded his contract with Racing de Ferrol of the Second Division and agreed until the end of the current season, with the option to extend it for one more. The player, after undergoing a medical examination, will be available to coach Paco Jémez next week, to try to get the team out of the middle of the standings.
Who is Tiago Días
Tiago Manuel Dias Correia, known as “Bebé”, is a Portuguese footballer born on July 12, 1990 in Loures, Portugal. He plays mainly as a left winger and stands out for his imposing physique, with a height of 1.90 meters. Bebé’s life has been a story of self-improvement. He grew up in difficult conditions, spending part of his childhood at Casa do Gaiato, a shelter for underprivileged children, and facing the harsh reality of living on the streets. Despite these adversities, his soccer talent paved the way for him. He began his professional career in 2009 with Estrela da Amadora, a modest team in Portugal. In 2010, his career took an unexpected turn when he was signed by Manchester United, in a transfer that attracted a lot of attention because he was a little-known player at the time. However, he had few opportunities in the first team, which marked the beginning of a career full of ups and downs. After his time at Manchester United, Bebé played for several European teams, including Beşiktaş in Turkey, Rio Ave and Paços de Ferreira in Portugal, among others.
He has also played nine seasons in Spain’s First Division with Cordoba, Rayo Vallecano and Eibar.
