Shéu Han (born 3 August 1953), known as Shéu, is a retired Portuguese professional footballer who played as a central midfielder.
He represented solely Benfica, during a 17-year career. He also served the Eagles as caretaker manager in 1999.
Club career
Shéu, who has Chinese ancestry, was born in Inhassoro, Portuguese Mozambique and discovered by army lieutenant Manuel da Costa, arriving in Lisbon in 1970 and joining S.L. Benfica's youth ranks. He made his first appearance with the main squad in 1972, but only became a regular three seasons later.
Shéu would remain there until the end of his career, even captaining the team from 1987 to 1988. He was an important member in the conquest of nine national championships and six domestic cups.
In addition, Shéu played in the 1983 UEFA Cup Final when Benfica lost to R.S.C. Anderlecht 1–2 on aggregate, scoring the leading goal in the return leg in Lisbon,[1] and also helped his only club to the 1987–88 European Cup final, a penalty shootout loss to PSV Eindhoven. He retired with 349 league games, only surpassed in midfield by another club legend and countryman, Mário Coluna.
After ending his career Shéu became a manager, serving as assistant coach for Benfica and in other several directorial capacities for more than two decades.
International career
Shéu was capped 24 times for the Portuguese national team, scoring one goal.[2] His debut came in a 1–3 defeat to Italy in Turin on 7 April 1976, in a friendly match,[3] and his last appearance was in Bern, a 1–1 draw with Switzerland on 29 October 1986 for the UEFA Euro 1988 qualifiers.[4]
Shéu also featured for the nation during Euro 1984's qualifying campaign, but did not make the final squad which eventually finished third in France.
