João Victor ‘Alemão’ Tornich, born on 6 November 2002 (age 23), is a Brazilian central defender with LASK. At 6ft 4in (1.94m), he is an imposing presence, which is a useful starting point for any centre-half, though never a career in itself.
His senior career has been shaped above all at Portimonense. Across two league seasons with the Portuguese club, he made 32 league appearances and scored two league goals. The main body of that work came in 2023-24, when he played 27 times in the league and scored twice.
Alemão is now with LASK, where he wears squad number 43. In 2026-27, he has made one Bundesliga appearance for the club.
His career so far is straightforward enough: a Brazilian defender whose profile was built at Portimonense, with LASK now the next stage.
