Kadú (Angolan footballer)

Aldo Geraldo Manuel Monteiro (born 30 November 1994), known as Kadú, is an Angolan professional footballer who plays for Portuguese club F.C. Oliveira do Hospital as a goalkeeper.

He debuted in 2011 for Porto as the youngest player in the club's history at 16, playing once each in the Taça de Portugal and Primeira Liga, but spent most of his career in Portugal's lower divisions. He made his senior international debut for Angola in 2021.

Club career
Kadú was born in Porto Amboim. He moved to Portugal in his early teens, playing for four youth clubs and finishing his formation with FC Porto, who also loaned him to Padroense F.C. who acted as the farm team in 2009. On 15 October 2011, the 16-year-old debuted as the youngest player in the club's history, taking the record from Sérgio Oliveira; the game was an 8–0 win at C.A. Pêro Pinheiro in the third round of the Taça de Portugal, as an 82nd-minute substitute for Rafael Bracali. The following 12 May, in the last day of the season and as the side had already been crowned national champions, he made his Primeira Liga debut as a replacement for the same player in a 5–2 away win against Rio Ave FC.

In August 2015, after two full seasons with the reserves in the Segunda Liga, often as starter, Kadú joined Varzim S.C. of the same league on loan. After spending 2016–17 with C.D. Trofense in the third division he signed for U.D. Oliveirense, recently promoted to the second tier.

Kadú spent the ensuing years from 2019 in division three, representing S.C. Espinho, Oliveirense again, F.C. Alverca and F.C. Oliveira do Hospital.

International career
Kadú was called up by Angola squad in September 2020. He only made his debut one year later, however, replacing Hugo Marques who had just been diagnosed with COVID-19 prior to the 0–1 home loss to Libya for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
