Luís Miguel de Olim Andrade (born 27 August 1981), known as Olim, is a Portuguese former professional footballer. A versatile defender, he could play on either flank or in the middle.

Club career

[edit]

After graduating from the youth academy at hometown's C.S. Marítimo in 2000, Funchal-born Olim spent his entire career with the Madeira club, but never managed to hold down a regular starting place. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 28 January 2001, playing 90 minutes in a 2–0 away loss against Gil Vicente FC,[2] and finished his first season with the main squad with only three league appearances.

For the duration of his spell, Olim also featured regularly for the B team in both the second and third divisions.[3] He retired in June 2015, two months shy of his 34th birthday, being appointed assistant coach at precisely the reserves.[4]

International career

[edit]

Olim participated with the Portugal under-20 side at the 2001 Toulon Tournament, scoring in the 4–1 group-stage win over Japan[5] for the eventual champions.[6]
