Diego Costa Early Life

  • Diego da Silva Costa was born in Lagarto, Sergipe, Brazil, to parents José de Jesus and Josileide.
  • Despite playing street football regularly as a child, Costa did not envision turning professional, partly due to the remote location of his hometown.
  • He has an elder brother named Jair, named after Brazilian player Jairzinho, and both siblings were passionate about football.
  • Costa's father named him in honor of Argentine footballer Diego Maradona, showcasing the love for the sport despite the Argentina-Brazil football rivalry.
  • Costa set up a football academy in his hometown, covering all associated costs, as a means of giving back to the community.
  • At the age of 15, Costa left Sergipe and moved to São Paulo, working in his uncle Jarminho's store. Although not a professional player, Jarminho had connections in football and recommended Costa to Barcelona Esportivo Capela.
  • Costa turned professional at Barcelona Esportivo Capela, earning a modest salary of around £100 per month. He competed in the under-18 Taça de São Paulo despite a four-month ban for disciplinary issues.
  • Jorge Mendes, a renowned Portuguese agent, noticed Costa during the tournament and offered him a contract at Braga, marking the beginning of his international career.
  • Initially hesitant about sending his son to Europe, Costa's father suggested joining nearby Associação Desportiva São Caetano, but Costa was determined to seize the opportunity with Braga.
  • Jair, Diego's brother, played on the same team, and while technically more able, he did not pursue a professional career, having only a three-month trial at Basque club Salvatierra.
