Club career

Born in Paranhos (Porto), Manuel José unsuccessfully graduated from FC Porto's academy, going on to serve a number of loans in almost four years before being released in June 2005. He made his Primeira Liga debut with Académica de Coimbra, where he played from January–June 2003.[1]

After a solid season with Porto's neighbours Boavista FC, Manuel José joined Romania's CFR Cluj Portuguese contingent in June 2006, for €300,000.[2] During his first year in Liga I he was a 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 5 February 2009, Manuel José terminated the contract that bound him with Cluj.[3] In July he returned to Portugal, signing with F.C. Paços de Ferreira. He scored a career-best eight goals in the 2012–13 campaign – in only 19 starts – being essential as his team finished third and qualified to the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history.[4]
