Club career
Couto was born in Argoncilhe, Santa Maria da Feira. During his career he played professionally for FC Porto, Gil Vicente FC (on loan from his alma mater) and Boavista FC. With the first club he was used regularly in his early years, mainly from the bench – shortly after having scored one of the two goals for the Portugal under-20 team in the 2–0 final win against Nigeria,[1] as the nation won the first of its two consecutive FIFA U-20 World Cups – but languished in the subsequent seasons.
With Boavista from 1996 until his retirement, Couto had his best years, helping to the side's Primeira Liga and European consolidation although he was already slowing down as they won their only first division title in 2001, being barred by younger Martelinho but still contributing with 17 matches and three goals to the feat.[2]
International career
Couto won six caps at full international level, mostly while at FC Porto, the first arriving at age 20. He was not related to club and national teammate Fernando Couto.
