Edinho

Edinho was born in Aveiro, of Guinea-Bissauan descent. After making his professional debut with Braga, and playing there without much impact, he served two loans from 2005 to 2007; in the second, he scored six goals for Gil Vicente in the Segunda Liga. Edinho was released by Braga prior to the start of the 2007–08 season, joining Vitória de Setúbal in the Primeira Liga. In January 2008, he was loaned to AEK Athens in Greece; not an undisputed starter at the former, he put up impressive performances for the latter in his first months, managing to net in five straight games, against Skoda Xanthi at home (3–0), at OFI Crete (4–1), at home against Aris (1–1) and away against Apollon Kalamarias (1–0), topping it with another in the 4–0 rout of arch-rivals Olympiacos. On 6 May 2008, the move to AEK was made permanent in a €500,000 deal and Edinho started the new campaign in fashion, scoring once and winning a penalty kick against Panathinaikos in a 2–1 home win, in the first derby of the year. Edinho signed with Málaga on 17 July 2009, for €900,000. After being irregularly used in the first half of the season, he was loaned for five months to PAOK in a return to Greece, with an option to make the move permanent for €1.2 million at its closure. He scored his first goal for the club in a 1–0 victory at Olympiacos, but returned to Andalusia in June 2010. In December 2010, shortly after the arrival of manager Manuel Pellegrini, Edinho was deemed surplus to requirements at the La Liga…

In late March 2009, Edinho was called up by Portugal coach Carlos Queiroz for an important 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Sweden and the subsequent friendly with South Africa. He made his debut in the latter in a 2–0 win in Lausanne, Switzerland: after a missed chance early in the second half, he made up in the ensuing corner kick by Deco in the 55th minute, charging into the area to close the scoring. In March 2014, more than four years after his last international, Edinho was selected by manager Paulo Bento for a friendly against Cameroon. He played the second 45 minutes in the match in Leiria, contributing one goal to the 5–1 victory.
