Diamantino Manuel Fernandes Miranda (born 3 August 1959 in Moita, Setúbal District), simply Diamantino in his playing days, is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a midfielder, and a current coach.

He most notably played for Benfica (11 seasons in two separate spells), appearing in more than 300 official games and winning 11 major titles. After retiring, he embarked in a lengthy managerial career.

An international in the early 80's, Diamantino represented Portugal at one World Cup and one European Championship.

Club career

Diamantino was one of Sport Lisboa e Benfica's key players during the 1980s, winning several national champion and domestic cup titles. He also played in the UEFA Cup final in 1983, lost to R.S.C. Anderlecht (01 and 11). He missed the European Cup final in 1988, due to an injury, in another defeat, this time to PSV Eindhoven on penalties.

Diamantino left Benfica at the end of the 198990 season, after only appearing in 15 league matches as the Reds only won the Portuguese Supercup. He was also an unused substitute in the club's second European Cup loss in three years, against A.C. Milan, moving in the subsequent offseason to first professional club Vitória de Setúbal where he played three more years, retiring at almost 34.

A manager since 1994 (starting at Setúbal), Diamantino was appointed second division S.C. Olhanense's manager midway through 200708, after having started the season at fellow league team Varzim SC. In May 2008, he was appointed assistant manager at Benfica, under new boss Quique Flores; both left the post at the end of the season, after which Diamantino moved to Benfica's youth sides.

In the 2010 summer, Diamantino signed for C.D. Fátima in the second level, being fired in late November.

International career

Diamantino gained 22 caps with five goals for the Portuguese national team, his debut coming on 18 November 1981 in a 21 win against Scotland, in the 1982 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

He represented the nation at both UEFA Euro 1984 and the 1986 World Cup. In the latter, on 11 July, in a 13 group stage loss to Morocco, he played his last match and scored his last goal.
