Fernando 'Nando' Có (born 8 October 1973) is a Bissau-Guinean former footballer. Besides Portugal, he has played in Malaysia, Luxembourg, and Spain.[1]

Career

In 1997, he signed for Racing Santander.[2] In 1998, he signed for CD Numancia.[3]

Signed by Sarawak of the Malaysia Super League in 2004 to partner Ghanaian Robert Eshun up front,[4] Manuel Có starred in the club's first win of the season in May, striking a brace to beat Sabah 3–1.[5] Treated as a hero after the match, his first goal was scored off a penalty that game and his second came in the 18th minute that game, allaying players fears of a loss; however, the forward was booked for taking off his shirt after converting the penalty.[6] Shown their third yellow card that season, Manuel Có and Eshun were suspended for one match in August.[7]
