[edit] Club career
After having played for modest clubs in the Lisbon area while growing up, Chaínho started playing professionally with Estrela Amadora, moving in 1998 to giants FC Porto. In 2001 he had his first overseas experience, playing in Spain with Real Zaragoza, travelling to Greece the next season to work with Fernando Santos (a coach he knew well from his Porto days) at Panathinaikos FC.
Chaínho returned to Portugal in 2003, playing four seasons in Madeira (two with CS Marítimo and two more with CD Nacional). The latter released him, now aged 33, in July 2007, and he subsequently signed for Alki Larnaca FC of Cyprus.
[edit] International career
Chainho represented Portugal at junior levels. In 2006, he received a call-up from the Angola national football team, but FIFA confirmed that he was not eligible to represent teams other than Portugal.[1]
