'''Carlos Manuel Correia dos Santos''' ({{IPA|pt|ˈkaɾluʒ mɐnuˈɛl|pron}}; born 15 January 1958), known as '''Carlos Manuel''', is a Portuguese retired professional [[Association football|footballer]] who played as a [[Midfielder#Central midfielder|central midfielder]], and a [[Manager (association football)|manager]].

Best known for his spell at [[S.L. Benfica|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 national football team|Portugal]] in six years, Carlos Manuel represented the nation in one [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] and one [[UEFA European Championship|European Championship]].

==Club career==
Born in [[Moita]], [[Setúbal District]], Carlos Manuel made his senior debut with [[G.D. Fabril|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 [[Taça de Portugal|cups]] in the 80s, as well as finishing runners-up to [[R.S.C. Anderlecht]] in the [[1982–83 UEFA Cup]].<ref>{{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}}</ref>

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 [[1988–89 Primeira Liga|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;<ref name=I>{{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 (Portuguese newspaper)|i]]|last=Tovar|first=Rui Miguel|language=pt|date=8 November 2013|access-date=2 May 2020}}</ref> he was chosen by Portuguese sports newspaper ''[[Record (Portuguese 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 Primeira Liga|1997–98 campaign]], he bought out his contract at [[S.C. Salgueiros]] and joined Sporting,<ref>{{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}}</ref> 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 football team|Portugal national team]], Carlos Manuel was [[Cap (sport)|capped]] on 42 occasions, scoring eight goals. His debut came on 26 March 1980 in a 1–4 away loss against [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] for the [[UEFA Euro 1980]] [[UEFA Euro 1980 qualifying|qualifiers]].

Three of those goals were memorable: the win over [[Poland national football team|Poland]] in [[Wrocław]] on 28 October 1983 which helped Portugal [[UEFA Euro 1984 qualifying|qualify]] for [[UEFA Euro 1984|Euro 1984]],<ref>{{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}}</ref> the historic victory in [[Germany national football team|West Germany]] on 16 October 1985, which secured [[1986 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA)|qualification]] for the [[1986 FIFA World Cup]], and in the latter competition's final stages, the defeat of [[England national football team|England]] in the group opener (all three matches finished 1–0 for Portugal).<ref>{{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}}</ref><ref>{{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}}</ref><ref>{{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}}</ref>

After the 1986 World Cup loss to [[Morocco national football team|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 national football team|Guinea-Bissau]].<ref>{{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}}</ref> He was in charge for one match, a 1–0 loss away to [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] in the [[2013 Africa Cup of Nations]] [[2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification|qualifying stage (2–0 aggregate)]].<ref>{{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}}</ref>
