Shéu Han (Chinese: 邵汉; born 3 August 1953), known simply as Shéu, is a former Portuguese professional footballer who played as a central midfielder.
He represented solely Benfica, during a 17-year career. He also served as their caretaker manager in 1999.
Shéu, who has Chinese ancestry, was born in Inhassoro, Portuguese Mozambique. He arrived in Portugal in 1970, joining S.L. Benfica's youth ranks and making his first appearance with the main squad in 1972, but only became a regular three seasons later.
Shéu would remain in Lisbon until the end of his career, even captaining the team from 1987 to 1988. He was an important member in the conquest of nine Primeira Liga championships and six domestic cups.
In addition, Shéu played in the 1983 UEFA Cup Final which Benfica lost to R.S.C. Anderlecht 1–2 on aggregate, scoring the leading goal in the return leg in Lisbon, and also helped his only club to the 1987–88 European Cup final, a penalty shootout loss to PSV Eindhoven. He retired with 349 league games, only surpassed in midfield by another club legend and countryman, Mário Coluna.
After ending his career, Shéu became a manager, serving as assistant coach for Benfica and in other several directorial capacities for more than two decades.
