Jorge Filipe Vidigal (born 29 January 1978) is an Angolan retired footballer who played as a right-back.
Club career
Born in Elvas, Portugal, Vidigal played most of his career in the country's lower leagues, representing hometown club O Elvas CAD (two spells), G.D. Estoril Praia, S.C. Olhanense and C.F. União. He also spent two years at Sporting CP, but appeared almost exclusively for its reserves.[1]
Vidigal's only full Primeira Liga experience came with S.C. Beira-Mar, who signed the player from Olhanense – where he also appeared as a defensive midfielder – on a two-year contract.[2] He only appeared in 11 matches in his debut season, and the Aveiro team were relegated.
In the summer of 2008, following a brief stint in Madeira with União, Vidigal joined C.R. Caála, returning to the land of his ancestors.[3]
International career
With his older brother Lito as coach, Vidigal earned one international cap for Angola on 27 August 2011, as a substitute in a 2–1 friendly loss to DR Congo in Dundo.[4]
Personal life
Vidigal was the youngest of 13 brothers and sisters, four of his male siblings also being footballers: Beto, Lito – who represented Angola as a player and coach – Luís (played for Sporting and Portugal with success, spent several years in Italy and was coached by Lito at C.F. Estrela da Amadora) and Toni.[5] [6] [7] His nephew André was also involved in the sport professionally.[8] [9]
