Davidson Renato da Cruz Coronel (born 14 April 1986), known as Bijou, is a Cape Verdean professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder.
Football career
Bijou was born in Praia. After being spotted at local Sporting Clube da Praia by scouts from S.L. Benfica he moved to Portugal, playing his first year as a senior with the reserve side in the third division.
Benfica B folded after that season and Bijou was loaned, alongside teammate Nicolás Canales, to Gondomar S.C. in the second level, where he only played one league game. Released by his parent club in the 2007 summer, he met the same fate at his next team, C.D. Fátima in the same tier, having to resume his career in the lower leagues of the country.
