José Manuel Martins Dominguez (born 16 February 1974) is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a winger, and a current coach.
A diminutive player with above-average technical skills and speed, he started playing professional football not in his own country but in England with Birmingham City. After two years with Sporting, he returned to England for three years with Tottenham Hotspur, then spent another three with German club Kaiserslautern and had short spells in Qatar and Brazil.
Dominguez is one of the shortest players to have ever played in the Premier League.
Born in Lisbon, Dominguez had an unassuming youth spell at hometown club S.L. Benfica, then played for a year with amateurs S.U. Sintrense also in the area. After a few months at AD Fafe he had his first taste of professional football, joining Football League Second Division club Birmingham City in March 1994 and being relegated in his first season.
Following Luís Figo's departure to FC Barcelona, Sporting Clube de Portugal chose Dominguez as his replacement, and he went on to play two solid seasons at the club, albeit with no silverware.
Tottenham Hotspur, coached by Gerry Francis, returned Dominguez to England in August 1997, for £1.6 million. He made his debut in the Premier League against Derby County at the end of that month, winning a penalty after coming on as a second-half substitute; however, despite being at White Hart Lane for over three years, his appearances for the first team were limited: he started regularly under Francis, but came more regularly off the bench during Christian Gross's tenure as manager.
