Football career
After an unsuccessful stint in Sporting Clube de Portugal's youth academy (never going past the reserves after turning a senior), Mangualde represented Clube Oriental de Lisboa. In January 2006 he signed for Primeira Liga club F.C. Paços de Ferreira, where would be regularly used throughout his two-and-a-half seasons stint; he appeared 23 times, all as a starter, as the northern team finished sixth in the 2006–07 campaign and qualified to the UEFA Cup for the first time in their history.
In the 2008 summer, Mangualde joined S.C. Freamunde in the second division, moving to Cyprus with Doxa Katokopias F.C. after just one year.
