José Augusto Pinto de Almeida (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʒuˈzɛ awˈɡuʃtu]; born 13 April 1937), known as José Augusto, is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a right winger, and a coach.
He played most of his career with Benfica, for which he appeared in 369 official games and scored 174 goals, winning 13 major titles including eight national championships and two European Cups.
Born in Barreiro, Setúbal District, José Augusto started playing with local F.C. Barreirense, spending four seasons in the Primeira Liga with the club. In the 1959 summer he joined S.L. Benfica, going on to be part of the club's legendary offensive unit that also included Mário Coluna, Eusébio, António Simões and José Torres. He and his teammates won two European Cups, in 1961 and 1962, and still reached a further three finals in the decade; in the 1960–61 domestic league season he scored a career-best 24 goals in only 25 games, helping the side to the title.
José Augusto retired early into the 1969–70 campaign at the age of 32, immediately being named Benfica's head coach and leading Benfica to the second position behind Sporting Clube de Portugal. He subsequently worked with several clubs, including S.C. Farense and F.C. Penafiel in the top level.
