*Club domestic league appearances and goals

José Augusto Pinto de Almeida (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʒuˈzɛ awˈɡuʃtu]; born 13 April 1937), known as José Augusto, is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a right winger, and a coach.

He played most of his career with Benfica, for which he appeared in 369 official games and scored 174 goals, winning 13 major titles including eight national championships and two European Cups.[1]

Club career

Born in Barreiro, Setúbal District, José Augusto started playing with local F.C. Barreirense, spending four seasons in the top division with the club. In the 1959 summer he joined S.L. Benfica, going on to be part of the team's legendary offensive unit that also included Mário Coluna, Eusébio, António Simões and José Torres. He and his teammates won two European Cups, in 1961 and 1962, and still reached a further three finals in the decade; in the 1960–61 domestic league season he scored a career-best 24 goals in only 25 games, helping the side to the title.

José Augusto retired early into the 1969–70 campaign at the age of 32, immediately being named Benfica's head coach and leading the Eagles to the second position behind Sporting Clube de Portugal. He subsequently worked with several clubs, including S.C. Farense and F.C. Penafiel in the top level.

In 1994–95, in what was his first experience abroad, José Augusto was one of five managers in charge of CD Logroñés, as the club was relegated from La Liga with an all-time low 13 points.[2]

International career

José Augusto made his debut for Portugal on 7 May 1958, in a 1–2 friendly loss against England. He played a further 44 matches for the national team during one full decade, and scored nine goals.

José Augusto was selected for the 1966 FIFA World Cup squad, playing all games and netting three times for the eventual third-placed team, twice against Hungary in the opener (3–1, the first in the first minute) and once against North Korea in the quarterfinals (5–3).[3]

As a manager he had a two-year spell with the national side, leading it to the runner-up position in the Brazil Independence Cup and through the unsuccessful 1974 World Cup qualifying campaign. In the 80s he was in charge of the youth teams, helping develop Carlos Queiroz; additionally, he was an assistant in the UEFA Euro 1984 finals in France.

From 2004 to 2007, José August coached the women's national team.
