Football career
During 20 seasons, Vidigal played for five clubs. He started his career with O Elvas CAD, achieving top division promotion in 1986, and playing two seasons with the Alentejo outfit in that category (the club's first and only).
After five years in the second level, with Louletano DC (two seasons) and União de Leiria (three), Vidigal returned to Elvas, with the side now in division three. He then left for one-season stints with Associação Naval 1º de Maio and S.C. Vila Real, also in that category, then returned to his main club to close out his career, eventually representing it in all five major levels of Portuguese football; he retired at the age of 39.
During four years, Vidigal worked as assistant coach with O Elvas, with the team in the fourth division.
Personal life
Vidigal has four brothers who were all footballers - Luís, Lito, Toni and Jorge. The first represented Portugal internationally, whilst the second opted to appear for Angola.
