João Pedro da Silva Pereira (born 25 February 1984) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Turkish club Trabzonspor mainly as a right back.
An attacking wingback, he was also known for his fiery temperament that led to altercations with adversary players and referees numerous times. In his country, he represented both Benfica and Sporting, amassing Primeira Liga totals of 227 games and nine goals and winning the 2005 national championship with the former. He also spent two-and-a-half seasons in Spain with Valencia.
Internationally, Pereira represented Portugal at Euro 2012 and the 2014 World Cup.
Pereira was born in Lisbon. A product of local S.L. Benfica's youth system, he first appeared with its first team on 17 August 2003 in a 0–0 away draw against Boavista FC, and finished his debut season with 25 Primeira Liga appearances, mostly as a midfielder.
Pereira was part of the Benfica squad that won the 2005 championship, starting often, until a fallout with coach Ronald Koeman relegated him to the bench and later to the B-side. He was sold to Gil Vicente F.C. – also in the top flight – in the 2006 summer, after a previous loan to the same club.
