With a personal tally close to forty international caps, he has been a key player within the Blue Sharks’ defence since 2005 and participated in the qualifiers for the 2006 and the 2010 World Cup, as well as those of the 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2013 Afcon.
Nando has played for French Ligue 2 club LB Châteauroux since 2011, with his credentials listing periods in Cape Verde, Tunisia, Doha and the Czech Republic following his professional debut in Portugal.
Tournament Review:
Cape Verde’s captain fantastic had an excellent tournament at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
The veteran defender played every minute of their campaign, helped keep them solid at the back, and picked up just one yellow card in the process.
He scored an unlucky own goal against Angola, but his side came back to win 2-1 anyway.
