Diego Ferreira Matheus (born 26 February 1996), known as Diego Ferreira, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a right back for Náutico on loan from Tombense.
Born in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Diego represented Botafogo as a youth. He made his senior debut on 30 April 2015, starting in a 2–1 Copa do Brasil away win against Capivariano; he also provided the assist for Sassá's goal.[1]
On 21 December 2015, after contributing with seven Série B matches, Diego renewed his contract until the end of 2018.[2] He made his Série A debut the following 2 June, starting in a 1–0 home loss against Cruzeiro.[3]
On 18 January 2017, after being rarely used, Diego was loaned to Chiapas.[4] In November, he moved to Atlético Paranaense on loan from Tombense,[5] being initially assigned to the under-23 squad. He was loaned again, to Fortaleza on 21 December 2018, on a one-year contract.[6] After playing just two matches with Fortaleza, his loan contract was cancelled in favour of another loan deal with América Mineiro.[7]
