Fernando Albino de Sousa Chalana (Portuguese pronunciation:[fɨɾˈnɐ̃duʃɐˈlɐnɐ]; 10 February 1959 – 10 August 2022) was a Portuguese football player and manager.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest talents of his era in Portuguese football, the diminutive left winger's main asset was his ball control and dribbling skills.[1]
His career, highly troubled by injuries, was mainly spent at Benfica,[2] where he also later worked as a manager. Prior to his physical problems, he helped Portugal reach the semi-finals at Euro 1984.
