Career
[edit]Correia arrived at Benfica in 1930, but only made his debut on 28 June 1931, against Porto, in the final of the Campeonato de Portugal.[1] In the following season, he partnered with Jorge Tavares and Manuel de Oliveira in the midfield, helping Benfica reach the semi-finals of the Campeonato de Portugal, playing all of the games.[2][3] A year later, with Albino replacing Tavares, he played 21 games for Benfica, winning the Campeonato de Lisboa.[4][5] He did not play for the first team in 1933–34, but returned in the following year, making three appearances.[1][6]
In 1935–36, back on the first team with Albino and Gaspar Pinto, he helped the club win the Primeira Liga.[7][8] He remained with Benfica until 1939, but with negligent influence, as Raúl Baptista, Joaquim Alcobia and Francisco Ferreira all overtook him in the pecking order.[9] In total, he made 71 games for them and scored twice.[1]
