Diogo dos Santos Cabral (born 10 October 1998), known as Diogo Calila, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a right-back for C.D. Santa Clara.
Club career
Belenenses
Calila was born in Seixal, Lisbon metropolitan area. A youth product of S.L. Benfica, he was promoted to the senior team of B-SAD in January 2019.[2] He made his Primeira Liga debut later that month, coming on as a 74th-minute substitute for Diogo Viana in a 3–0 away loss against FC Porto.[3]
Calila played 20 matches – 23 in all competitions – in the 2020–21 season, helping his team finish tenth in the table. He subsequently renewed his contract until 2024.[4]
On 27 November 2021, Calila was the only player available from the main squad to face Benfica, due to a bout of COVID-19.[5] Nine players started the game, most of them from the under-23 side and two being goalkeepers; after seven returned for the second half with the score at 7–0 and one suffered an injury, the fixture was abandoned.[6][7]
Santa Clara
In August 2022, Calila signed a three-year contract with C.D. Santa Clara with the option of a further two; his former club retained 20% of the player's rights.[8][9]
Personal life
Calila's father, Carlos (who shared the same nickname), was also a footballer. A forward, he played mostly for C.F. Os Belenenses.[10]
