Francisco Queriol Conde Júnior (born 22 November 1965), known as Chiquinho Conde, is a Mozambican former footballer who played as a striker, currently manager of Mozambique.

Most of his extensive professional career was spent in Portugal, mainly with Vitória de Setúbal, also having a spell in the United States in 1997. Over the course of 13 seasons, he amassed Primeira Liga totals of 309 games and 85 goals.

Conde represented Mozambique in three Africa Cup of Nations. In 2005, he started working as a coach.

Playing career

[edit]

Born in Beira, Conde arrived in Portugal in the summer of 1987 from CD Maxaquene, and would remain in the country for the following decade, starting with C.F. Os Belenenses. After good spells at S.C. Braga and Vitória F.C. he signed with Sporting CP, but failed to reproduce his previous form, returning to Belenenses in January 1996.[2][3]

Major League Soccer

[edit]

Recommended to Major League Soccer by former MetroStars coach Carlos Queiroz, the 31 year old Conde moved to the fledging league at 31 years old, where he represented the New England Revolution and the Tampa Bay Mutiny.[3][4]

After signing with MLS, Conde was allocated to the Revolution on February 20, 1997, prior to the beginning of the 1997 New England Revolution season, the club's second season in existence.[5]

Newly appointed Revolution manager Thomas Rongen spoke highly of Conde's acquisition, calling him "a proven goal scorer in an extremely competitive league" adding that Conde "has the versatility to play up top or out wide and will give us a leadership presence on and off the field."[4]

Conde made his debut for the Revolution in the season opener, a 1-0 win over the Dallas Burn on March 29.[6] He scored his first goal for the club on May 3, in a 2-1 victory over the Kansas City Wizards.[6] Conde was named MLS Player of the Week for week 10, following his brace in a 2-1 Revolution win over the Colorado Rapids on May 24.[6] He represented MLS East in the 1997 MLS All-Star Game, alongside his Revolution teammates Walter Zenga, Ted Chronopoulos, and Alexi Lalas.[7]

On August 13, 1997, the Revolution traded Conde (along with Sam George) to the Tampa Bay Mutiny for Giuseppe Galderisi and Ivan McKinley.[5] In 17 total starts for the Revolution, Conde scored 6 goals and recorded 4 assists. At the time of the trade, he was leading the Revolution in scoring,[8] but former-Tampa manager Rongen was eager to reunite with Galderisi and McKinley.[9]

While in Tampa, Conde recorded two assists in eight matches.[10]

Later Career

[edit]

In January 1998 he returned to Portugal and a former club, Vitória Setúbal (his third stint); in the first full season upon his return, he scored 14 goals as they qualified for the UEFA Cup as fifth.[11][2]

After spells at F.C. Alverca and Portimonense SC, Conde eventually retired in 2005 after playing amateur football in the country.[3] He represented Mozambique for 15 years,[12][13] appearing at the 1986, 1996 and 1998 Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, with the national side finishing bottom of the group on all three occasions;[14][15][16] he was regarded as one of the best players the country ever produced, alongside Dário and Tico-Tico.[17][18]

Coaching career

[edit]

Conde worked as a manager after retiring, being in charge of several teams in the Moçambola[19][20][21][22] and also coaching Vitória Setúbal's under-23s.[23] In October 2021, the 55-year-old replaced the dismissed Horácio Gonçalves at the helm of the Mozambique national side.[24]
