Carlos Alberto de Oliveira Secretário (born 12 May 1970) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played mainly as a right defender.

During his 17-year career, in which he appeared in 341 Portuguese first division games and scored 12 goals, he played for six teams in his country, namely Porto, with which he won 18 major titles. He also briefly represented Real Madrid.

Secretário played more than 30 times with the Portuguese national team, representing the country in two European Championships.

Club career

After making his professional debuts with Gil Vicente F.C. in the second division, Secretário, who was born in São João da Madeira and started his career as a midfielder, moved to the top level with F.C. Penafiel in 1989, then spent one additional season with fellow league side F.C. Famalicão. In 1992–93 he signed with Sporting Clube de Braga, where he spent another campaign.

In the 1993 summer Secretário joined league powerhouse F.C. Porto, quickly establishing himself as an undisputed starter, in defense or midfield – after João Domingos Pinto's retirement, he played almost exclusively as a right back – and helping the northerners to two leagues, one Cup and one Supercup in his first spell. He attracted attention from Real Madrid, which signed the player in July 1996, but he would encounter extreme difficulties in carving a starting niche with the Spanish side, which was aggravated with the January 1997 signing of Italian Christian Panucci;^[1] in a bizarre incident in a game against Real Betis at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, a delay was caused by a rabbit presumably thrown into the fray from the terraces, and he was quick enough to catch it. "Secretário may or may be not a good player," said TV commentator Arsenio Iglesias at the time, "but he is indeed a great hunter."^[2]

Secretário returned to Porto in January 1998 for six 1/2 additional seasons, and would go on to conquer the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Champions League in back-to-back years, although he was now only backup to emergent Paulo Ferreira. On 14 March 2002 he was sent off during a 2–1 continental home win over Panathinaikos FC, receiving a three-match suspension.^[3]

In June 2005, Secretário retired after one year with F.C. Maia (second level). Two years later he started his coaching career with the same club, but it was now in the fourth. He continued working in the lower leagues in the following seasons.

International career

Secretário earned 35 caps for Portugal, and played at the 1996 and 2000 European Championships. In both cases second-choice, he totalled three appearances.
