Carlos Manuel Correia dos Santos ({{IPA|pt|ˈkaɾluʒ mɐnuˈɛl|pron}}; born 15 January 1958), known as Carlos Manuel, is a Portuguese retired professional footballer who played as a central midfielder, and a manager.

Best known for his spell at Benfica, for which he appeared in 318 competitive matches over eight and a half seasons, scoring 58 goals. He was also a leading figure for the national team during the better part of the 1980s and, after retiring, he embarked on a lengthy spell as coach.

Having won more than 40 caps for Portugal in six years, Carlos Manuel represented the nation in one World Cup and one European Championship.

Club career

Born in Moita, Setúbal District, Carlos Manuel made his senior debut with G.D. CUF, moving in 1978 to F.C. Barreirense. He reached the Primeira Liga as he signed with S.L. Benfica, still in Lisbon, going on to be an influential member of a side that won four leagues and six cups in the 80s, as well as finishing runners-up to R.S.C. Anderlecht in the 1982–83 UEFA Cup.{{cite book|last=Malheiro|first=João|title=Memorial Benfica 100 Glórias|trans-title=Benfica Memorial, 100 glories|date=July 2006|publisher=QuidNovi|isbn=978-972-8998-26-4|edition=Third|pages=34–35|language=pt}}

After falling out of favour with the club's management, Carlos Manuel moved in January 1988 to Switzerland with FC Sion. Only five months later, he returned to the Portuguese capital after signing with Sporting CP. After a solid first season his career began winding down, and he finally retired at the end of 1993–94 whilst at G.D. Estoril Praia – he had previously represented Boavista F.C. for two years;{{cite news|url=https://ionline.sapo.pt/artigo/352440/carlos-manuel-naquela-altura-eramos-jeitosos-com-a-bola-no-pe?seccao=Desporto|title=Carlos Manuel.

"Back then were quite handy ball in foot"|newspaper=i|last=Tovar|first=Rui Miguel|language=pt|date=8 November 2013|access-date=2 May 2020}} he was chosen by Portuguese sports newspaper Record as one of the best 100 Portuguese football players ever.

After retiring at 36, Carlos Manuel took up coaching, having managed with little success a host of clubs, mainly in the Lisbon area. Midway through the 1997–98 campaign, he bought out his contract at S.C. Salgueiros and joined Sporting,{{cite web|url=https://maisfutebol.iol.pt/geral/07-11-2001/carlos-manuel-apresentado-como-treinador-do-salgueiros|title=Carlos Manuel apresentado como treinador do Salgueiros|trans-title=Carlos Manuel presented as new manager of Salgueiros|publisher=Mais Futebol|language=pt|date=7 November 2001|access-date=19 December 2018}} but the latter could only finish fourth and he was dismissed, a fate he met mere months after at S.C. Braga.

International career

For the Portugal national team, Carlos Manuel was capped on 42 occasions, scoring eight goals. His debut came on 26 March 1980 in a 1–4 away loss against Scotland for the UEFA Euro 1980 qualifiers.

Three of those goals were memorable: the win over Poland in Wrocław on 28 October 1983 which helped Portugal qualify for Euro 1984,{{cite web|url=https://pt.uefa.com/uefaeuro/history/news/0254-0d7b39da609a-09bc665112af-1000--platini-faz-a-diferenca-em-meia-final-de-sonho-no-euro-1984/|title=Platini faz a diferença em meia-final de sonho|trans-title=Platini makes the difference in dream semi-final|publisher=UEFA|language=pt|date=4 October 2003|access-date=18 April 2017}} the historic victory in West Germany on 16 October 1985, which secured qualification for the 1986 FIFA World Cup, and in the latter competition's final stages, the defeat of England in the group opener (all three matches finished 1–0 for Portugal).{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/portugal-miracle-stuttgart-922941|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180525035304/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/portugal-miracle-stuttgart-922941|url-status=dead|archive-date=25 May 2018|title=Portugal's 'Miracle of Stuttgart'|publisher=FIFA|date=23 October 2008|access-date=1 May 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://desporto.sapo.pt/futebol/euro-2012/artigos/estreante-portugal-a-cinco-minutos-da-final-em-1984|title=Estreante Portugal a cinco minutos da final em 1984|trans-title=Newcomers Portugal five minutes from the final in 1984|publisher=SAPO|language=pt|date=22 May 2012|access-date=19 December 2018}}{{cite web|url=https://desporto.sapo.pt/futebol/liga-das-nacoes/artigos/portugal-tem-vantagem-face-a-polonia-mas-nao-vence-desde-2002|title=Portugal tem vantagem face à Polónia, mas não vence desde 2002|trans-title=Portugal win head-to-head against Poland, but do not win since 2002|publisher=SAPO|language=pt|date=10 October 2018|access-date=19 December 2018}}

After the 1986 World Cup loss to Morocco, with the national side being ousted in the group stages – the competition was also stained by the Portuguese players' involvement in the Saltillo Affair – Carlos Manuel retired from the international scene, at only 28. In June 2012, he succeeded Luís Norton de Matos as manager of Guinea-Bissau.{{cite web|url=https://af.reuters.com/article/africaSoccerNews/idAFB59892320120613|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190925125304/https://af.reuters.com/article/africaSoccerNews/idAFB59892320120613|url-status=dead|archive-date=25 September 2019|title=Soccer-Manuel takes over as coach of Guinea Bissau|agency=Reuters|date=13 June 2012|access-date=25 September 2019}} He was in charge for one match, a 1–0 loss away to Cameroon in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying stage (2–0 aggregate).{{cite news|url=https://www.dn.pt/desporto/futebol-internacional/interior/paulo-torres-e-o-novo-selecionador-da-guine-bissau-3560975.html|title=Paulo Torres é o novo selecionador da Guiné-Bissau|trans-title=Paulo Torres is the new manager of Guinea-Bissau|newspaper=Diário de Notícias|last=Silva Rodrigues|first=António|language=pt|date=29 November 2013|access-date=25 September 2019}}
