Football career
During 20 seasons, Vidigal played for five clubs. He started his career with O Elvas CAD, achieving Primeira Liga promotion in 1986 and playing two seasons with the Alentejo side in that category – their first and only.
After five years in the second division, with Louletano DC (two seasons) and U.D. Leiria (three), Vidigal returned to Elvas, with the team now in the third level. He then left for one-season stints with Associação Naval 1º de Maio and SC Vila Real also in that tier, then returned to his main club to close out his career, eventually representing it in all five major levels of Portuguese football; he retired at the age of 39.
During four years, Vidigal worked as assistant coach with O Elvas, with the club in the fourth division.
Personal life
Vidigal has eight brothers and four sisters, four of the former also being footballers: Luís, Lito, Toni and Jorge. The first represented Portugal internationally, whilst the second opted to appear for Angola.
