Valdo Cândido de Oliveira Filho (born 12 January 1964), known simply as Valdo, is a Brazilian former footballer who played as a central midfielder, and a current manager.
In a senior career which spanned more than two decades, he played professionally – other than in his own country – in Portugal, France and Japan.
Having appeared more than 40 times for Brazil, Valdo represented the nation in two World Cups and as many Copa América tournaments.
Born in Siderópolis, Santa Catarina, Valdo began playing football with Figueirense Futebol Clube, making his professional debuts with Grêmio Football Porto-Alegrense, with which he won four consecutive Rio Grande do Sul Leagues.
In the summer of 1988, he signed with S.L. Benfica of Portugal alongside compatriot Ricardo Gomes, a central defender. Both were important elements in their debut season as the team won the Primeira Liga championship, a feat which was again accomplished in 1991, with the midfielder netting five goals in 26 matches.
Both Valdo and Gomes left for Paris Saint-Germain F.C. in the 1991 summer, and both would return four years later to the Lisbon side, having won a total of four titles, including the 1993–94 edition of the Ligue 1. In his second Benfica spell, he played in 30 league matches in each of his two seasons, winning the Taça de Portugal in 1996.
