Jorge António Pinto do Couto (born 1 July 1970 in Feira, Santa Maria da Feira) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a right winger.
He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 287 games and 27 goals over the course of 14 seasons, representing in the competition Porto and Boavista and winning 15 major titles both clubs combined.
Football career
During his career Couto played professionally for FC Porto, Gil Vicente FC (on loan from his alma mater) and Boavista FC. With the first club he was used regularly in his early years, mainly from the bench – shortly after having scored one of the two goals for the Portuguese under-20 team in the 2–0 final win against Nigeria,[1] as the nation won the first of its two consecutive FIFA U-20 World Cups – but languished in the subsequent seasons.
With Boavista from 1996 until his retirement, Couto had his best years, helping to the side's Primeira Liga and European consolidation although he was already slowing down as the Checquereds won its only first division title in 2001, being barred by younger Martelinho but still contributing with 17 matches and three goals to the feat.
At full international level Couto won six caps, mostly while at FC Porto, the first arriving at age 20. He is not related to club and national teammate Fernando Couto.
