† Appearances (goals)

Nuno Miguel Pereira Sousa (born 8 March 1979), known as Briguel, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for C.S. Marítimo as a right back.

Football career

Born in Funchal, Madeira, Briguel – his nickname derives from former German international defender Hans-Peter Briegel, who also played in his position – spent his entire career in the green and red colours of hometown club C.S. Marítimo, making his first-team and Primeira Liga debut in the 2000–01 season, against Boavista FC.[1]

Briguel also played five times for the Portuguese under-21 side, though never an undisputed starter at Marítimo (years after being promoted to the first team, he continued appearing in the odd match for the reserves).
