Career
In the club
He comes from the youth of Benfica Lisbon and was awarded to FC Alverca from 1995 to 1998 . Upon his return, he played for three years in Benfica's regular formation, scoring fourteen goals.
In 2001 he played with the amateurs because of a disagreement with the club's board of directors before moving to FC Porto , where he won the UEFA Cup ( 2003 ) and the UEFA Champions League ( 2004 ) in addition to national titles .
In summer 2005 he moved to Dynamo Moscow for almost twenty million euros . On January 2, 2006, he moved on loan to Chelsea , where he should replace the injured Michael Essien . Essien's original representative Geremi was absent because of his participation in the Africa Cup .
On his return to Moscow, Maniche expressed the desire to switch to a southern European club, as he did not feel comfortable because of the climatic conditions in Russia. He then moved to the Spanish club Atlético Madrid at the end of August 2006 for nine million euros , where he signed a three-year contract. On January 13, 2008, Atlético Madrid loaned him to Inter Milan with immediate effect . For the 2008/09 season he ran again for Atlético . Due to internal difficulties with the club's management, Maniche was removed from the squad at the end of the season, the contract was terminated prematurely in May. After a successful sports medical examination, Maniche was introduced as the new 1. FC Köln player at a press conference in the Austrian training camp on the afternoon of July 20, 2009 . He received a three-year contract with an option to terminate early after two years.
On May 16, 2010 it was announced that the contract will be terminated on June 30, 2010 because Maniche has expressed the wish to move to Sporting Lisbon and thus return to Portugal with his family.
In May 2012, Maniche, who has been without a club since June 2011, announced his retirement from professional football.
