Born in Paços de Ferreira, Coelho spent the vast majority of his career with hometown club F.C. Paços de Ferreira. After reaching the youth system at the age of 7, he made the first team in 2003.
After two years and only one Segunda Liga appearance,[2] Coelho was loaned to lowly sides S.L. Nelas and Rebordosa AC. He was subsequently recalled by Paços, but again only served as a backup, consecutively to Pedro – another youth product born in the city – and Brazilian Peterson Peçanha;[3] the first of his 20 Primeira Liga matches during his spell at the Estádio da Mata Real took place on 6 January 2008, in a 2–1 home win against U.D. Leiria.[4]
Released in the summer of 2012 after one season in the second division with C.F. Os Belenenses, Coelho resumed his career at that level with F.C. Penafiel. He only missed one game in 42 in 2013–14, as the latter returned to the top flight after an eight-year absence. In January 2014 and June 2016, he agreed to contract extensions.[5][6]
Coelho continued playing in the second tier from 2017 to 2021, with U.D. Oliveirense. On 29 June 2021, after their relegation as last, the 37-year-old signed with SC Mirandela in the fourth.[7][8]
