Football career
From 1984–1997, Miguel competed in 13 first division seasons, with Vitória de Guimarães, Sporting Clube de Portugal and Gil Vicente FC, amassing totals of 325 games and 12 goals, being relegated in the last campaign.
He retired in June 2006 at the age of 43, after not being able to help Grupo Desportivo União Torcatense avoid relegation from the third level. He gained five caps for Portugal in the late 80's, the vast majority of those coming after the infamous Saltillo Affair at the 1986 FIFA World Cup, which caused most of the squad to defect from international play.
