Litos

Litos was born in São João da Madeira, Aveiro District. As Sporting CP was coached by John Toshack, he made his first-team debut at the age of 17. His best individual season would be precisely his first – 28 matches, six goals, even reaching the Portuguese national team – and he remained an important member of the main squad in the following years.

Litos was fired by Portimonense in late December 2010, as the Algarve side ranked second bottom. Shortly after, he signed for Leixões S.C. of the second tier, leaving the club on 14 February 2012.

Starting in 2012, Litos went on to spend several seasons in the Moçambola with Liga Desportiva de Maputo. In February 2016, he returned his country and its second division, leaving Clube Oriental de Lisboa’s bench after less than one month alleging personal reasons.

Litos began working as a manager in 2004, starting with former club Estoril and not being able to prevent relegation from the top flight. In the 2009–10 campaign, he led Portimonense S.C. back to the same league after a two-decade absence.

Litos left the Lions in 1992, and represented, without much success at least in his country’s Primeira Liga, Boavista FC, S.C. Braga, G.D. Estoril Praia, US Lusitanos Saint-Maur (third level, in France) and Atlético Clube de Portugal. He retired from the game in 1999, aged 32.

Luís Filipe Vieira Carvalhas (born 6 January 1967), known as Litos, is a Portuguese former footballer who played as a midfielder, and a manager.
