Francisco Queriol Conde Júnior (born 22 November 1965), known as Chiquinho Conde, is a Mozambican retired footballer who played as a striker.
Most of his extensive professional career was spent in Portugal, mainly for Vitória Futebol Clube, with a brief spell in 1997 in the United States. Over the course of 13 seasons, he amassed Primeira Liga totals of 309 games and 85 goals.
Football career
Born in Beira, Conde arrived in Portugal in the 1987 summer from Clube de Desportos do Maxaquene, and would remain in the country for the following decade, starting with C.F. Os Belenenses. After good spells at S.C. Braga and Vitória de Setúbal he signed with Sporting Clube de Portugal, but failed to reproduce his previous form, returning to Belenenses in January 1996.
Aged already 31, Conde moved to the recent Major League Soccer, where he played for the New England Revolution and the Tampa Bay Mutiny. In January 1998 he returned to Portugal and a former club, Vitória Setúbal (for his third spell); in his first full season upon his return to the team, he netted a career-best 14 goals, as the sadinos qualified for the UEFA Cup as fifth.
After spells at F.C. Alverca and Portimonense SC, Conde eventually retired in 2005, after playing amateur football in the country. He represented Mozambique during 16 years, appearing at the 1986 and the 1998 Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, with the national team finishing bottom of the group in the latter. He was regarded as one of the best players the country ever produced, alongside Dário and Tico-Tico.[1]
