Fernando Cabrita

Born in Lagos, Algarve, Cabrita played 14 of his 18 years as a senior in his country's top division, starting out at Olhanense. In the 1943–44 season, he scored a career-best 20 goals in only 18 games to help his team to the fifth position out of ten clubs. Cabrita also represented Angers (France, second level), Covilhã and Portimonense, before retiring in 1960 at the age of 37.

He gained seven caps for Portugal in twelve years, making his debut on 11 March 1945 in a 2–2 friendly draw against Spain and netting his only goal in his next appearance, a 1–5 away loss to the same opponent for the 1950 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, on 2 April 1950.

Cabrita started working as a coach, as he was still playing with Portimonense in 1959. His first full-time stop at the professional level came during the 1967–68 campaign, when he acted as interim at Benfica and led the club to the national championship, before Otto Glória took over. In the Portuguese top flight he was also in charge of Tomar, Beira-Mar, Rio Ave, Academico de Viseu and Penafiel. Cabrita served as Portugal's manager during nine matches starting in 1983, after the resignation of Glória. He led a technical commission with three other members – José Augusto, António Morais and Toni – and coached the national side to the semi-finals at UEFA Euro 1984, where they lost 2–3 to France in extra time.
