Club career
editBorn in Funchal, Madeira, Briguel – his nickname derived from former German international defender Hans-Peter Briegel, who also played in his position – spent his entire career in the green and red colours of hometown's C.S. Marítimo.[2][3] He made his first-team and Primeira Liga debut to kickstart the 2000–01 season, against F.C. Alverca (0–0 away draw, 90 minutes played).[4][5]
Years after being promoted to the first team, Briguel continued featuring in the odd match for the reserves.[6] He retired at the end of the 2015–16 campaign at the age of 37, after having contributed ten appearances to the former's 13th-place finish.[7] On 17 December 2014, he reached the 700th-game mark with his only club.[8]
Subsequently, Briguel worked as Marítimo's director of football.[9][10][11]
International career
editBriguel played five times for the Portugal under-21 side, making his debut on 24 October 2001 in a 1–1 friendly with Turkey in Caldas da Rainha.[12][13]
