Benfica. A gritty defender, he was also a Portugal international, and is the father of Sporting Clube de Portugal midfielder Miguel Veloso. 15 years in Benfica He joined Portuguese League giants S.L. Benfica in 1980–81, and was an everpresent fixture until his retirement, helping the capital side to seven leagues and five cups. Veloso also played at the UEFA Cup final in 1983, as Benfica lost to RSC Anderlecht 1–2 on aggregate and, most notably, in the 1988 European Champions Cup final, where he missed the penalty shootout attempt that gave PSV Eindhoven the final win (5-6). An injury left him out of the team that reached the 1989-90 final, lost to AC Milan (that AC Milan). Veloso retired at 38, after 15 seasons with Benfica and more than 500 overall appearances. I almost cried when they showed that on the news, because he wanted to stay two more seasons i think, and the club didn't renewed his contract. I guess he was benfica's Maldini somehow, but his style is more like Gary Neville's. Anyway, Benfica's defense felt the departure in the next season. He subsequently became a coach, managing Benfica's seniors late in 2001-02, then moving to its B team, which folded soon after. International career Veloso had 40 caps for Portugal, making his debut in a 2–1 win over Scotland, on November 18, 1981, in a 1982 World Cup qualifier. He played at Euro 1984, where Portugal reached the semi-finals, and was left outside the 1986 World Cup team, due to a doping test that was later proved to be fake. His last game was a 2–2 draw with Spain on January 19, 1994, in a friendly match, aged 36.
