Football career
Born in Setúbal, Edmundo spent four Primeira Liga seasons with hometown's Vitória FC, after which he signed with S.L. Benfica in 1986. Following a 1–7 away loss against Sporting Clube de Portugal in a Lisbon derby in December, he replaced António Oliveira and partnered Dito for the rest of the season, but lost his starting position after the arrival of Carlos Mozer.
In 1988 Edmundo returned to Setúbal, in an exchange deal with Hernâni Neves. In the following campaigns he alternated between the top level and the second, also representing C.F. Os Belenenses, C.F. Estrela da Amadora and C.D. Beja. He closed out his career at nearly 35 years of age, after a spell at lower league club Grupo União Sport Montemor.
