About César Brito

Born 1964. César Brito is a Portuguese association football player.

César Gonçalves de Brito Duarte (born 21 October 1964), known as Brito, is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a striker.

Club career Born in the village of Barco, Brito started playing for local S.C. Covilhã, but soon attracted attention from S.L. Benfica, who signed him in 1985. He endured a difficult start at the latter, going on to serve a two-year loan at fellow Primeira Liga side Portimonense SC.

Upon his return, Brito appeared mainly from the bench, barred by Swede Mats Magnusson. His biggest moment at Benfica arrived during the 1990–91 season, as he scored twice – as a substitute – to beat FC Porto away (2–0) and eventually clinch the national title, in a match that ended in a riot.

Brito ended his ten-year link at the Estádio da Luz in summer 1995, having totalled only 23 league games in his last three seasons. After a good year at Lisbon neighbours C.F. Belenenses he moved to Spain, teaming up with a host of compatriots at UD Salamanca, including Pauleta.

In 1997–98, Brito featured regularly as Salamanca managed to stay in the top flight, then joined modest CP Mérida in the second tier. He saw out his career at his first club, retiring at 35.
