He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 227 games and five goals during 11 seasons, five of those with Vitória de Setúbal.
Born in Setúbal, Edmundo spent four Primeira Liga seasons with hometown club Vitória FC, after which he signed with S.L. Benfica in 1986.[1] Following a 1–7 away loss against Sporting CP in a Lisbon derby in December, he replaced António Oliveira and partnered Dito for the rest of the season, but lost his starting position after the arrival of Carlos Mozer.[2][3]
Edmundo returned to Setúbal on a loan deal in 1988 in a move involving Hernâni Neves,[4] later joining C.F. Os Belenenses in the same situation and agreeing to a permanent contract with the latter at the end of the campaign.[5] Having alternated between the top division and the second level in the following years, also representing C.F. Estrela da Amadora and C.D. Beja, he closed out his career at nearly 35 after a spell in the lower leagues with Grupo União Sport Montemor.[6]
Edmundo played three times for Portugalatunder-21 level during the qualifying stage for the 1986 UEFA European Championship.[7]
