Club career

Born in Lisbon, Pereirinha was a youth graduate at S.L. Benfica.[1] He was called up to the first team at the age of 18 by manager John Mortimore, going on to mainly act as backup to Minervino Pietra over the course of three Primeira Liga seasons.[2]

After two more years in the top flight with Amora FC,[3] and a further ten between C.F. Os Belenenses and S.C. Farense where he alternated between that tier and the Segunda Liga, Pereirinha retired professionally at nearly 34.[1]

Pereirinha's son, Bruno, was also a footballer. He represented mainly Sporting CP and S.S. Lazio.[4][5]
