Carlos Eduardo Deus Pereira (born 25 December 1962) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played mainly as a right-back.
Over the course of five seasons, he amassed 70 Primeira Liga matches and one goal.
Born in Lisbon, a youth graduate from Benfica, he made his debut on 8 November 1981 in an away win over Belenenses.[1] With the right-back position being occupied by Pietra and Veloso, Pereira had very little opportunities to play, being loaned out to Farense in 1986.[2] [3]
In 1988, he moved to Farense,[4] and helped the team reach the 1990 Taça de Portugal Final, lost to Estrela da Amadora. However, having sustained a serious injury in the upper extremity of femur, while still at Benfica, Pereira ended his career abruptly at age 30 in 1991.[5]
After football, he ended up being associated with Farense, as Chairman of the SAD, and also with the Algarve Football Association and Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional.[6]
Pereira amassed 18 caps from under-16 to under-21 level.[7]
