Pedro Miguel das Neves Correia (born 22 November 1974), known simply as Pedro, is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

During his professional career, he played solely Paços de Ferreira.

Football career

Pedro was born in Paços de Ferreira. Joining hometown's F.C. Paços de Ferreira when he was just 10 years old, he was given his Portuguese first division debuts by coach José Mota in a 1993 match against S.C. Salgueiros, and went on to amass 325 overall appearances for the club.

In 2002–03, as a starter, Pedro helped the northerners achieve a sixth place in the league, a feat repeated in the 2006–07 season, this time good enough for qualification to the UEFA Cup, although he was a backup during the latter campaign.

In June 2009, aged 34, Pedro retired from football, but stayed connected with his only professional club, working as goalkeeper coach under several coaches.
