The Portuguese defender represented his nation in the U-21 European Championships in 2007. After that, he has had stints with Hearts and Nurnberg in Europe and New England Revolution in the USA.

Jose Goncalves moved to India to play in the fourth edition of the Indian Super League. He has made 11 appearances for NorthEast United either at left back or centre back but his performances have not been up to the mark.

His side have conceded 17 goals in 11 matches so far and are languishing at second-last on the points table. For the kind of money he is being paid, one would have expected a better showing from Goncalves.
