Fernando 'Nando' Có (born 8 October 1973) is a Bissau-Guinean former footballer. Besides Portugal, he has played in Malaysia, Luxembourg, and Spain.[1]

He is the all-time top scorer for the Guinea-Bisseau national team, with nine goals in six appearances[2] as well as holding the all-time highest goal scoring ratio in international football[3] of 1.5.

Career

[edit]

In 1997, he signed for Racing Santander.[4] In 1998, he signed for CD Numancia.[5]

Signed by Sarawak of the Malaysia Super League in 2004 to partner Ghanaian Robert Eshun up front,[6] Manuel Có starred in the club's first win of the season in May, striking a brace to beat Sabah 3–1.[7] Treated as a hero after the match, his first goal was scored off a penalty that game and his second came in the 18th minute that game, allaying players fears of a loss; however, the forward was booked for taking off his shirt after converting the penalty.[8] Shown their third yellow card that season, Manuel Có and Eshun were suspended for one match in August.[9]
