Carlos Jorge Camacho Dantas (born 8 November 1966), known as Carlos Jorge, is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a central defender.
Over 15 seasons, he amassed Primeira Liga totals of 316 games and 21 goals for Marítimo and Sporting CP.
Club career
Born in Funchal, Madeira, Carlos Jorge arrived in C.S. Marítimo's youth system at the age of 16, making his first-team and Primeira Liga debut two years later. After a one-year loan to C.F. União in the Segunda Liga, also in the island, he returned to become an essential defensive unit, making 120 league appearances in four seasons (with nine goals); in the 1990–91 campaign, as his side finished tenth – the top flight in Portugal then comprising 20 teams – he played all 38 games and minutes, scoring a career-best five goals.
In 1992, Carlos Jorge signed with Sporting CP, but featured sparingly over the course of two seasons.[2] He then returned to the Verde-rubros, spending a further seven years always in the top tier;[3] in 1997–98, the everpresent captain scored four times in 30 matches as Marítimo qualified for the UEFA Cup, where they would exit in the first round against Leeds United on penalties.[4]
Carlos Jorge began his managerial career in 2009, acting as assistant coach to both the first and second teams of his main club.[5]
