Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Portuguese name Template:Infobox football biography António José dos Santos Folha Template:Post-nominals (born 21 May 1971) is a Portuguese retired professional footballer who played mostly as a winger, currently a manager.

He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 227 matches and 22 goals over 12 seasons, mainly in representation of Porto. He also appeared in the competition with Gil Vicente and Braga, and was part of the Portugal squad at Euro 1996.

Folha worked as a manager after retiring, starting out at Porto B before joining Portimonense in 2018.

Club career

Folha was born in Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto District. In his career he played mostly for FC Porto, with loan stints in Portugal, Belgium[1] and Greece,[2] being often used as a substitute by his main club where he won a total of 18 major titles (including seven Primeira Liga trophies and five Taça de Portugal). From 1994 to 1996, he had his best years with the team, contributing ten goals in 58 games as they won back-to-back national championships.

At the end of the 2002–03 season, aged 32, Folha was finally released by Porto[3] and joined F.C. Penafiel of the Segunda Liga, helping to a return to the top flight in his first year. He retired from football in 2005, and joined his last team's coaching staff immediately afterwards, also serving a two-season stint as assistant manager, one in each of the major levels.[4]

Folha returned to Porto once again in 2008, being named assistant with the junior side and remaining in the position for several seasons.[5] Later, he coached the reserves.[6]

In June 2018, Folha replaced the departed Vítor Oliveira at the helm of top-division club Portimonense SC.[7] He finished 12th in his first season on the Algarve, and resigned on 18 January 2020 when second from bottom having lost to last-placed C.D. Aves.[8]

Folha returned to Porto B on 2 February 2021, taking over from Rui Barros – who had succeeded him – at the last-placed side in the second tier.[9] He secured their survival in the last matchday.[10]

International career

Folha earned 26 caps for Portugal over a three-year period,[11] and was selected for the UEFA Euro 1996 tournament,[12] appearing in three matches in an eventual quarter-final exit and assisting Ricardo Sá Pinto in the 1–1 group stage draw against Denmark.[13]

Previously, he helped the under-20 team to win the 1989 FIFA World Youth Championship in Saudi Arabia.[14]

Personal life

Folha's son, Bernardo, is also a footballer. A midfielder, he was also developed at Porto, being coached at the reserve team by his father.[15][16]
