† Appearances (Goals).Manuel José Azevedo Vieira (born 4 February 1981 in Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto), known as Manuel José, is a Portuguese footballer who plays for F.C. Paços de Ferreira in the Portuguese first division.
Mainly a right midfielder, he can also play as an offensive right back.
Football career
José unsuccessfully graduated from F.C. Porto's academy, going on to serve a number of loans in almost four year, before being released in June 2005. He made his first division debuts with Académica de Coimbra, where he played from January–June 2003.
After a solid season with Porto's neighbours Boavista FC, José joined Romania's CFR Cluj Portuguese contingent in June 2006, for €300,000.[1] During his first season, he was a first team regular and the team player with the most assists, accumulating eleven decisive passes. However, with the arrival of Ioan Andone as head coach during the summer of 2007, he lost his place in the starting eleven and failed to regain that position.
On 6 February 2009, José terminated the contract that bound him with Cluj.[2] In July, he returned to Portugal, signing with F.C. Paços de Ferreira.
