Club career
[edit]Born in Funchal, Madeira, Carlos Jorge arrived in C.S. Marítimo's youth system at the age of 16, making his first-team and Primeira Liga debut two years later. After a one-year loan to C.F. União in the Segunda Liga, also in the island, he returned to become an essential defensive unit, making 120 league appearances in four seasons (with nine goals); in the 1990–91 campaign, as his side finished tenth – the top flight in Portugal then comprised 20 teams – he played all 38 games and minutes, scoring a career-best five goals.
In 1992, Carlos Jorge signed with Sporting CP, but appeared sparingly over the course of two seasons. He then returned to the Verde-rubros, spending a further seven years always in the top tier; in 1997–98 the everpresent captain scored four times in 30 matches as Marítimo qualified for the UEFA Cup, where they would exit in the first round against Leeds United on penalties.
Carlos Jorge begun his managerial career in 2009, acting as assistant coach to both the first and second teams of his main club.[2]
