Club career

Born in Elvas, Portugal, Vidigal played most of his career in the country's lower leagues, representing hometown club O Elvas CAD (two spells), G.D. Estoril Praia, S.C. Olhanense and C.F. União. He also spent two years at Sporting CP, but appeared almost exclusively for its reserves. [1]

Vidigal's only full Primeira Liga experience came with S.C. Beira-Mar, who signed the player from Olhanense – where he also appeared as a defensive midfielder – on a two-year contract. [2] He only appeared in 11 matches in his debut season, and the Aveiro team were relegated.

In the summer of 2008, following a brief stint in Madeira with União, Vidigal joined C.R. Caála, returning to the land of his ancestors. [3]

International career

With his older brother Lito as coach, Vidigal earned one international cap for Angola on 27 August 2011, as a substitute in a 2–1 friendly loss to DR Congo in Dundo. [4]

Personal life

Vidigal was the youngest of 13 brothers and sisters, four of his male siblings also being footballers: Beto, Lito – who represented Angola as a player and coach – Luís (played for Sporting and Portugal with success, spent several years in Italy and was coached by Lito at C.F. Estrela da Amadora) and Toni. [5] [6] [7] His nephew André was also involved in the sport professionally. [8] [9]
