Pico is a veteran presence in Cape Verde's defensive ranks who has spent virtually his entire senior career in the League of Ireland, making him one of the more unusual internationals at this level. After six years at Bohemians, he has been a fixture at Shamrock Rovers since 2017, winning multiple league titles as the Dublin club established domestic dominance. Now 34, he brings experience and reliability rather than top-level club pedigree, and his longevity in the Cape Verde setup reflects the nation's pragmatic approach to selecting from its diaspora across varied footballing environments.
