José Alberto da Mota Barroso (born 26 August 1970 in Braga) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.
Over the course of 14 seasons he amassed Primeira Liga totals of 328 games and 55 goals, mainly in representation of Braga (11 years).
Club career
Armed with a powerful outside shot,[1] Barroso made his professional debuts with hometown's S.C. Braga during the 1990–91 season, playing four games in the Primeira Liga. After a successful loan also in the north, with second level's Rio Ave FC, he returned, becoming an essential midfield element for the Minho club as well as team captain; in his last two years combined, although Braga finished tenth and eighth respectively, he scored 14 league goals, mostly from long-range shots and/or free kicks.
Barroso then moved to FC Porto, winning two consecutive leagues although he would only be a fringe player in his second season, featuring in just nine matches out of 34. After one year with Académica de Coimbra he returned to Braga, now consolidated in the Portuguese top flight. He netted 13 times in his first two seasons combined, then added a career-best 12 in the 2002–03 campaign but the team could only rank in 14th place.
Barroso retired from football in the 2005 summer at nearly 35, after helping Braga to two consecutive UEFA Cup qualifications, even though he contributed sparingly due to injuries (33 games and three goals combined).
