Sporting KC Sign Central Defender Nuno André Coelho

Possibly the last piece of the puzzle has been signed. On Tuesday, Sporting Kansas City announced the long awaited signing of Nuno André Coelho, the foreign defensive player Robb Heineman had been talking about. Christmas came late in Kansas City this year, as the Christmas day signing finally joins the team after a month.

Coelho joins Sporting KC after having played his entire career in Europe. The 30-year-old has played 160 matches across his 12-year professional career. Most recently he played for Balu0131kesirspor in the Turkish Super Lig. Coelho has also played for such esteemed clubs as FC Porto (27-time Portuguese League Champions), Standard Liege, and Sporting Club de Portugal (where former SKC man Uri Rosell currently plays).
