Born in Ovar, Semedo started playing professionally for FC Porto. Although he was already part of the first-team setup during their conquest of the European Cup, he was only a fringe player (only 27 Primeira Liga appearances over four seasons), beginning to appear regularly precisely the following campaign as the club added the Intercontinental Cup and the UEFA Super Cup; domestically, 1987–88 ended with the double.[1]
In 1994, Semedo, who was a relatively important unit in 12 of Porto's 22 accolades during his spell, suffered a severe knee injury from which he never recovered. At 31, he moved to neighbours S.C. Salgueiros, retiring from football after three years where he was sparingly used.[1]
Semedo started coaching in 2009, being an assistant in Padroense FC's under-17. Two years later, in the same capacity, he returned to Porto's seniors, joining newly appointed Vítor Pereira's staff.[2]
International careeredit
Semedo earned 21 caps for Portugal in five years, scoring two goals.[1] One of those came on 31 March 1993 in a 1–1 draw in Switzerland for the 1994 FIFA World Cupqualifiers, as the national side finished third in their group, being eliminated from the final stages precisely by those opponents.[3]
