Portuguese footballer and manager
Hélder Marino Rodrigues Cristóvão (born 21 March 1971), known simply as Hélder as a player, is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a central defender , currently manager of Penafiel .
He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 197 matches and 16 goals over eight seasons, mostly with Benfica . He also competed professionally in Spain, England, France and Greece, representing mainly Deportivo .
Hélder appeared for Portugal at Euro 1996 . In 2009, he started working as a manager, going on to spend several years with Benfica's reserves .
Playing career [ edit ]
Born in Luanda , Portuguese Angola , Hélder first attracted attention as a Estoril player, moving to Benfica for the 1992–93 season where he would stay the following four and a half years, mainly as a starter. In December 1996, he signed for Deportivo , playing 22 La Liga matches in only six months as the club finished in third position .[2]
In November 1999, Hélder joined Newcastle United of the Premier League on loan for a fee of £ 500,000,[3] making 12 official appearances and scoring in a 2–2 away draw against Sunderland in the Tyne–Wear derby the following 6 February.[4] In that season , the Spaniards went on to conquer their first league title, with the player failing to contribute in that competition; he subsequently returned to Depor , appearing very rarely in his last year , which ended in conquest of the Copa del Rey .[5]
For the 2002–03 campaign , aged 31, Hélder returned to Benfica,[6] playing there two more years (winning the Taça de Portugal in 2004 )[2] and joining Paris Saint-Germain the following season, where he teamed up with compatriot Pauleta .[7] He spent his last year at AEL in 2005–06 , appearing rarely in the Super League Greece and retiring subsequently.[2]
International [ edit ]
Hélder earned 35 caps for the Portugal national team , scoring three goals.[8] [9] His first was on 12 February 1992 in a 2–0 win over the Netherlands in an exhibition game , and his last a 4–0 loss to France in Paris on 25 April 2001, in another friendly.[2]
Hélder represented the nation at UEFA Euro 1996 ,[10] appearing in all four matches for the quarter-finalists as he started alongside Fernando Couto .[11]
Coaching career [ edit ]
Cristóvão began working as a manager in the summer of 2009, precisely with his first club Estoril (in the Segunda Liga ). On 28 September, merely two months after being appointed, he was fired.[12]
On 3 July 2013, Cristóvão returned to Benfica as manager of the reserve team , replacing Luís Norton de Matos . In the 2014–15 season , he led them to their second best position in the second tier, a sixth place (fifth in 2013–14 ), as the highest scoring team with 81 goals.[13] [14]
Benfica B only managed to stave off relegation in the 2015–16 campaign in the last matchday, defeating Freamunde 5–0 at home and also benefitting from a 1–1 draw between Mafra and Aves .[15] [16] [17] [18] Cristóvão's team collected more losses (21 ) than wins (15 ), conceding 64 times whilst scoring 59;[19] additionally, on 15 March 2016, he was suspended for 30 days after being sent off against Covilhã , which ended with a 2–2 home draw.[20]
On 5 April 2018, Cristóvão announced he would leave Benfica at the end of the season .[21] In August that year, he was hired as director of football and academy director at Al Nassr in the Saudi Professional League .[22] He became caretaker manager in November after the exit of José Daniel Carreño , and relinquished that role when compatriot Rui Vitória was appointed the following January.[23] Three months later, he was given a new job in the same league at Al-Ettifaq who had two games remaining to avoid relegation,[24] which was finally achieved .
Cristóvão was named manager of Dunajská Streda on 6 January 2020, taking charge of the third-placed team of the Slovak Super Liga on a deal until 31 May.[25] On 15 May, however, the club decided not to renew his contract.[26]
On 7 June 2021, Cristóvão was appointed at newly promoted Al-Hazem in the Saudi top division.[27] He was removed from the bottom-placed side on 27 November and replaced by Constantin Gâlcă .[28]
Cristóvão was hired by Ismaily , placed last in the Egyptian Premier League , on 13 September 2022. His contract was terminated hours later, allegedly due to misinformation presented on his curriculum vitae by his agent .[29]
On 30 January 2023, Hélder returned to his country's second tier, replacing Filó at 12th-placed Penafiel .[30] Having finished the season in the same position, he signed for another year.[31]
Personal life [ edit ]
Cristóvão's son, Flávio , also became a professional footballer in the same position.[32]
