Carlos Jorge Camacho Dantas (born 8 November 1966), known as Carlos Jorge, is a retired Portuguese professional footballer who played as a central defender.
Over the course of 15 seasons, he amassed Primeira Liga totals of 316 games and 21 goals, for Marítimo and Sporting.
Born in Funchal, Madeira, Carlos Jorge arrived in C.S. Marítimo's youth system at the age of 16, making his first-team - and first division - debuts two years later. After a one-year loan to C.F. União in the second level, also in the island, he returned to become an essential defensive unit, amassing 120 league appearances in four seasons (with nine goals); in the 1990–91 season, as his side finished 10th (the top division in Portugal then comprised 20 teams), he played all 38 matches and minutes, scoring a career-best five goals.
In 1992, Jorge signed with national powerhouse Sporting Clube de Portugal, but appeared sparingly over the course of two seasons. He then returned to the Verde-rubros (Green and red), playing a further seven years (always in the first category); in 1997–98, the everpresent team captain netted four in 30 games as Marítimo qualified for the UEFA Cup, where they would valliantly exit in the first round against Leeds United (on penalties).
Jorge begun his manager career in 2010, acting as assistant coach to both the first and second teams of his main club.
