Edgar Patrício de Carvalho Pacheco (born 7 August 1977), known simply as Edgar, is a former footballer who played as a forward. Born in Angola, he represented Portugal internationally.
After making his professional debut with Benfica at the age of 18 he appeared irregularly for the club, and spent most of his later career in Spain, almost exclusively in representation of Málaga.
Born in Luanda, Angola, Edgar was a product of S.L. Benfica's youth system,[1] making his debut with the first team at only 18 by playing 45 minutes in a 1–0 away win against F.C. Tirsense on 26 August 1995 and finishing his first season with 21 appearances and two goals. He was regularly used during his spell, but mainly from the bench, and also served a six-month loan at F.C. Alverca who acted as the farm team, in the second division.
With the Andalusians, Edgar was a heavily used attacking weapon. Having partnered compatriots Duda and Litos for four and five seasons respectively,[3][4] he eventually appeared in 218 games across all competitions, helping the side to top-flight promotion in his first year.[1]
Edgar then returned to Portugal for 2007–08, in a disastrous campaign with Boavista FC – seven matches for the player, Primeira Liga relegation for the club (due to irregularities). He quickly moved abroad again, signing with Cyprus' Alki Larnaca FC, being released after one sole season and retiring from football at age 31.[1]
International career
Edgar was born in Angola to a Portuguese father and Angolan mother, and moved to Portugal at a young age. He played for Portugal internationally. After earning 25 caps for the under-21s he appeared once with the full side, against Mozambique on 19 August 1998.[1]
Subsequently, Edgar had his application to represent Angola rejected in December 2004, because he had already represented one nation at senior level.[5]
