Eduardo José Gomes Camassele Mendez (born 18 January 1962 in Barcelos), known as Dito, is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a central defender, and the current manager of F.C. Famalicão.
During 16 professional seasons, Dito appeared in 358 Primeira Liga matches, starting his career with S.C. Braga, for which he was already an important first-team member at the age of 18, and signing with S.L. Benfica in 1986 after six years in Minho.
During his two season-spell with Benfica, Dito played in 27 league games in his first year as the Lisbon club won the double, then partnered Carlos Mozer in his second (no silverware won). He then moved to rivals and title holders FC Porto for one season, with Benfica regaining its domestic supremacy at the expense of precisely the northerners.
From 1989 to 1994, always in the top division, Dito represented Vitória de Setúbal,S.C. Espinho and Gil Vicente FC. After an unassuming stint with A.D. Ovarense in the second level he retired from football, aged 34.
Dito's biggest achievement as a coach was managing S.C. Salgueiros over the course of three top flight campaigns, being sacked after the tenth round of 1999–2000 as the Paranhos team eventually retained their status. In 2009, he returned to his first club Braga, being appointed at its junior sides.
