Club career

A product of C.F. Os Belenenses' youth system, Mano first appeared with the first team on 4 February 2007, in a 1–0 win at Vitória de Setúbal. He had to wait until 2008–09 to become an important member of the main squad.

In the 2009–10 season, Mano appeared in a career-best 28 games, but Belenenses finished as second from bottom in the top division, dropping down a level. In July 2010, he moved to Villarreal CF B in Spain.

International career

Mano represented Portugal at the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, also appearing in other minor tournaments.

In the competition held in Canada, in the round of 16 defeat against Chile (0–1), he was going to be sent off by referee Subkhiddin Mohd Salleh for a foul, when teammate Zequinha stripped the judge of his red card, receiving his marching orders as well.[1][2] Subsequently, both players were suspended from international football, Mano for three months.[3]
