Playing career

Born in Espinho, Filó spent most of his career in three spells with hometown club S.C. Espinho, totalling 66 Primeira Liga games and one goal for them and F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[1] Most of his career was in the second tier, with 178 games and 9 goals for Espinho and F.C. Penafiel.

Coaching career

In 2006, Filó began coaching A.D. Lousada in the third tier, and remained at that level or lower in subsequent seasons. On 4 April 2012 he was given his first professional job at Associação Naval 1º de Maio, 4th-placed in the second tier.[2]

After a full season in charge of S.C. Freamunde also in the second division, he resigned in August 2015 after not winning any of the first three games of the new campaign.[3] On 21 June 2016, he was appointed at newly relegated C.F. União.[4] Six months later he was dismissed with the team in 17th, having lost eight out of 20 games, and replaced by José Viterbo.[5]

After working at C.D. Aves' under-23 team, Filó returned to the senior game on 13 October 2018, succeeding Dito at S.C. Covilhã.[6] He took the team to sixth place in his only season before leaving to former club Paços de Ferreira – newly promoted to the Primeira Liga – in May 2019.[7] After four games – a draw and three losses, one goal scored and eight conceded – he lost his job on 1 September.[8]

On 12 November 2019, Filó returned to the second tier, succeeding Filipe Martins at 12th-placed C.D. Feirense.[9] After finishing the season six points behind promoted S.C. Farense, he was given a new contract in July 2020.[10]
