After starting out at Benfica, he went on to play in France, the Netherlands and Russia, notably totalling 144 appearances for Bordeaux. [2]

Club career

Born in Lisbon, Basto was a graduate of hometown S.L. Benfica's youth system, and began playing professionally with its farm team, F.C. Alverca, being recalled for good in January 1998. [3] [4] After some good performances, he began an abroad spell that would last six years, four seasons at FC Girondins de Bordeaux, one and a half at Feyenoord and six months at AS Saint-Étienne, with relative success – he only managed to be first-choice for the first of those clubs. [5] [4]

In the 2001–02 campaign, Basto helped Girondins to finish sixth in Ligue 1, with the side also qualifying for the UEFA Cup after winning the Coupe de la Ligue, defeating FC Lorient 3–0 in the final with two goals from his compatriot Pauleta. [6] He returned to Portugal in 2006–07, signing with C.D. Nacional; he was played very rarely in Madeira however, mainly due weight problems, [4] and left for Russia's FC Shinnik Yaroslavl in the 2008 January transfer window, where he teamed up with countryman Ricardo Silva. [7] [8]

In summer 2010, after not being able to find a club in more than one year, Basto retired at the age of 32. Subsequently, he worked as a sports agent. [4]

International career

Basto earned caps for Portugal at youth and B levels. [4]
