Carlos Correia de Brito (1 December 1919 - unknown), was a Portuguese footballer who played as a forward.
He joined Benfica in 1938, scoring 44 goals in 79 games, winning three major titles.
Early life
[edit]Brito was born in Lourenço Marques (present-day Maputo), Portuguese Mozambique and moved to Portugal.[1]
Career
[edit]Brito arrived at Benfica in 1938, at the hands of Lippo Hertzka, making his debut on q October, against Sporting.[2] In his first year, he scored 15 goals in 25 games, with Benfica reaching the inaugural 1939 Taça de Portugal Final.[3][4] The next season, he increased his goalscoring record to 18 in 34 appearances, as Benfica won the 1940 Taça de Portugal Final.[5][6]
However, starting in his third season, strong competition from Valadas, Teixeira and Francisco Rodrigues saw Brito's playing time significantly cut short, as he appeared in six games in 1940–41,[7] and none from 1941 until 1943.[8][9][10] In his last two years he played a total of three games for Benfica, after which he departed the club with 44 goals scored in 79 games.[11][2][12]
