José Carlos Fernandes Vidigal (born 11 July 1969), commonly known as Lito, is a former Angolan professional footballer who played as a defender, and the current coach of F.C. Arouca.
Born in Luanda, Angola, Vidigal spent his entire career in Portugal, representing at the professional level O Elvas CAD, S.C. Campomaiorense, C.F. Os Belenenses and C.D. Santa Clara and retiring in 2003 at the age of 34, playing 212 matches the first and second divisions combined.
Internationally, Vidigal appeared for Angola at the 1998 Africa Cup of Nations, gaining a total of 16 caps.
Immediately after retiring in 2004, Vidigal took up coaching, starting with lowly A.D. Pontassolense and G.D. Ribeirão. In 2008 he moved to C.F. Estrela da Amadora – coaching his younger brother Luís after he returned from a lengthy spell in Italy – and joined second level's Portimonense SC.
In late October 2009, as Manuel Fernandes bought out his contract at U.D. Leiria to return to his favorite club Vitória de Setúbal, Vidigal was named his successor. On 8 January 2011, he was appointed coach of the Angolan national side.
