Pedro Manuel Valido Franco (born 13 March 1970) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a centre-back. Developed at Benfica, he amassed 150 Primeira Liga appearances with one goal, with the biggest impact, being two seasons he spent at Marítimo in the early 1990s. Valido earned 26 caps for Portugal from under–18 to under–21 level, winning the 1989 World Championship with the under–20 side. ==Football career== Born in Lisbon, Valido started at Domingos Sávio, but left for Atlético CP in 1984, ending his youth years at Benfica. In 1988, he joined Estoril-Praia on a loan deal, at the time competing in the second tier. He assumed regular starter role and amassed 28 appearances with three goals, earning a call-up for the under-20 national team that would play the 1989 FIFA World Cup U-20.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fifa.com/u20worldcup/archive/saudiarabia1989/teams/team=1888287/statistics.html )〕 Alongside several of his former colleagues at Benfica, like Brassard, Abel Silva, Paulo Sousa and Paulo Madeira, he played the entire tournament as Portugal won its first title. The win helped him gain notability, and at 20 years-old, he moved to the top tier, to play for Feirense, and later Gil Vicente on consecutive loans. After playing all of the games in the 1990–91 season for the Barcelos-side, he was recalled by Benfica in 1991. Faced with stiff competition from Paulo Madeira, Wiliam and Rui Bento, he only made four appearances in the entire season, but was a regular presence at the bench.〔 In 1992, he moved to Marítimo on a permanent deal, and was part of the team that made the club's first qualification for a European competition, the 1993–94 UEFA Cup. Together with João Luis, Humberto or both, Valido helped them finish fifth in two consecutive seasons, in 1992–93 and 1993–94. He left Marítimo in 1994 and became a journeyman, appearing for four other sides in the first division, before dropping down to the third tier in 1999 and the fourth in 2003. He retired in 2005 and started a managerial career, eventually returning to Benfica in 2007, assisting in several youth sides, while also becoming a sports pundit at Benfica TV in 2012.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pedro Valido」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
