Carlos Manuel Correia dos Santos (; born 15 January 1958), known as Carlos Manuel, is a retired Portuguese professional footballer who played as a central midfielder, and the current manager of Iranian club Sanat Naft FC. Best known for his spell at Benfica, for which he appeared in 318 official games over the course of 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, Manuel represented the nation in one World Cup and one European Championship. ==Club career== Born in Moita, Setúbal District, Carlos Manuel made his football debuts with G.D. CUF, moving in 1978 to F.C. Barreirense. He reached the Portuguese top level 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 80's, as well as finishing runner-up to R.S.C. Anderlecht in the 1982–83 UEFA Cup.〔(Carlos Manuel Correia dos Santos ); Vedeta ou Marreta?, 6 August 2008 〕 After falling out of favour with the club's management, Manuel moved in January 1988 to Switzerland with FC Sion. Only five months later, he returned to the Portuguese capital after signing with Sporting Clube de Portugal. After a solid first season his career began winding down, and he finally retired midway through the 1993–94 campaign, whilst at G.D. Estoril Praia – he had previously represented Boavista Futebol Clube for two years; 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 on coaching, having managed with little success a host of clubs, mainly in the Lisbon area. Midway through 1997–98, he bought out his contract at S.C. Salgueiros and joined Sporting, but the ''Lions'' could only finish fourth and he was sacked, a fate he met mere months after at S.C. Braga. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carlos Manuel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
