About Valdo
Valdo Cândido Filho (born 12 January 1964), known simply as Valdo, is a Brazilian football manager and former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. In a senior playing career spanning more than two decades, he played in Brazil, Portugal, France and Japan, and was notably associated with Grêmio, Benfica and Paris Saint-Germain. He later managed the Congo national football team from 2018 to 2021. Valdo earned more than 40 caps for the Brazil national football team, representing his country at two FIFA World Cup tournaments and two Copa América editions. He was part of the Brazil squad that won the 1989 Copa América. Both Valdo and Gomes left for Paris Saint-Germain F.C. in the 1991 summer, and both would return four years later to the Lisbon side, having won a total of four titles, including the 1993–94 edition of the Ligue 1. Both were important elements in their debut season as the team won the Primeira Liga championship, a feat which was again accomplished in 1991, with the midfielder netting five goals in 26 matches.
