Club career
Porto
Born in Porto, Paciência joined FC Porto's youth system at the age of only 8. He made his senior debut on 12 January 2014, starting for the B-team in a 2–0 home win against Portimonense S.C. for the second division championship.[1] He scored his first goals in the competition on 22 March, helping to a 2–2 away draw against C.D. Feirense.[2]
Paciência first appeared in competitive games with the main squad on 21 January 2015, again acting as starter in a 1–1 draw at S.C. Braga for the Portuguese League Cup.[3] He netted his first goal in the same competition, in a 4–1 home victory over Académica de Coimbra that took place the following week.[4]
On 29 July 2015, Paciência joined Académica in a season-long loan.[5] On 31 August 2016, still owned by Porto, he moved to Olympiakos FC.[6] His spell at the latter club, which was undermined by heart problems, was concluded in December.[7][8]
Paciência continued to be loaned in the following seasons, to Rio Ave F.C.[9] and Vitória de Setúbal.[10] On 25 August 2017, while at the service of the latter club, he scored an own goal in an eventual 1–1 away draw against C.F. Os Belenenses, coached by his father;[11] on 27 January 2018, he netted early into the final of the League Cup and also converted his penalty shootout attempt, in a loss to Sporting CP after a 1–1 draw in regulation time.[12]
Eintracht Frankfurt
On 12 July 2018, deemed surplus to requirements as practically all Portuguese players by manager Sérgio Conceição, Paciência signed a four-year contract with German club Eintracht Frankfurt.[13] He made his debut on 18 August in the first round of the DFB-Pokal, in which he came on as a late substitute and scored a consolation in a 1–2 loss for the holders at Regionalliga team SSV Ulm 1846.[14] In September, he suffered a knee injury in training which sidelined him for several months.[15]
International career
Paciência earned 51 caps for Portugal at youth level. His first for the under-21 team arrived on 5 March 2014 at the age of 19, when he started and missed a second-half penalty in a 2–0 home win against Macedonia for the 2015 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[16] Selected for the finals in the Czech Republic, he collected three substitute appearances for the runners-up, scoring in the 1–1 group stage draw to Sweden and converting his shootout attempt in the final against the same opponent.[17][18][19]
Paciência was part of the squad at the 2016 Summer Olympics, netting three times in the group phase[20][21][22] in an eventual quarter-final exit. He first appeared with the full side on 14 November 2017, coming on as a 46th-minute substitute for Gelson Martins in a 1–1 friendly draw to the United States.[23] In his second match, exactly two years later, he played the entire 6–0 rout of Lithuania in the Algarve for the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying stage, scoring the fourth goal.[24]
Personal life
Paciência's father, Domingos, was also a footballer and a forward. He too was groomed at Porto.[25][26]
