Jesse Fernando Pinto (born May 1, 1990 in Darwin ) is an Australian-East Timorese football player .

Career

Pinto received a scholarship from the NSW Institute of Sport in 2005/06 and was part of the Australian U-17 squad for qualifying for the 2006 U-17 Asian Cup in February 2006 . These were the historically first competitive games of an Australian selection after the association change to the Asian Football Confederation . The Australian team failed to qualify for the finals after a draw against hosts Laos and a narrow win against Indonesia. As a result, Pinto played in the youth division of the Blacktown City Demons and was part of the Australian national school team both on the UK tour in 2007 and a year later on the trip to Japan and South Korea. In the 2008 season he came for the men's team from Blacktown to some appearances in the New South Wales Premier League (NSWPL), before he moved to the Newcastle United Jets , newly created for the National Youth League , and also for the 2008/09 season moved from Blacktown to Newcastle .

The professional Jets team started the 2008/09 season as the reigning champions , but ended up on the bottom of the table at the end of the season. Due to some failures and departures, coach Gary van Egmond had to fall back on some young players on January 9, 2009 for the third from last game of the season against leaders Adelaide United and brought three debutants. Brodie Mooy was on the starting line-up for his league debut, while Jesse Pinto and Jarrad Ross came on for their first appearance in the A-League during the game . Pinto's debut turned out to be a disaster, only 16 minutes after being substituted on he was replaced in the 83rd minute. Immediately after the game, his coach justified this step, commonly referred to as the “maximum penalty” in football circles, in a television interview by stating that Pinto made mistakes and was the “worst player out there”. In the subsequent press conference, van Egmond tried to justify his action, which was heavily criticized by the press and fans, with the fact that he wanted to “release” the player, who in his opinion was becoming increasingly insecure, from his suffering and protect him.

Despite this unsuccessful premiere, Pinto also made a short appearance on the following, last two match days and was also registered for the AFC Champions League 2009 , but did not make it into a matchday squad. During the 2010 season break, Pinto played for the West Sydney Berries in the NSWPL and returned to the Jets' youth team for the 2010/11 season. Under Branko Culina , who succeeded van Egmond in the summer of 2010, Pinto was no longer part of the professional team, and in 2011 his membership in the Jets ended.

In November 2011, Pinto led the U-23 team of East Timor as a captain in the Southeast Asian Games in Indonesia, after being contacted by the assistant coach of the East Timorese national team. With victories over Brunei and the Philippines , the team finished in third place in the six-team preliminary group, but missed the semi-finals. Previously, he should have played for the East Timor national team in mid-2011 as part of the World Cup qualifiers against Nepal , but because of his international appearances for Australia, a change of association at FIFA was initially necessary, which could not be completed in time. In October 2012, Pinto was part of East Timor’s squad in qualifying for the 2012 ASEAN soccer championship . He made his international debut in the second group game in the 2-1 defeat against Myanmar , when he led his team onto the field as captain.

In order to be more active for the national team, Pinto lives most of the year in East Timor and is active at club level for Dili United .
