Manuel Maria Pais Jordão (5 November 1921 – deceased) was Portuguese footballer who played as a half-back.

Starting at Barreirense, Jordão joined Benfica in 1942, where he won two league titles.

Career

Born in Barreiro, Portugal, Jordão joined his home-town club, Barreirense at age 17, representing them for four seasons, before moving to Benfica in 1942. He made his debut for them on 25 October, against GD Fósforos.[1] Despite competition from Alcobia, Albino and Francisco Ferreira, he still played 14 times, helping Benfica win the league and cup double.[2] In 1943–44, his playing time dropped to just one game, in the regional league.[3]

Jordão won his second league title in the following year, thanks to the three games played in January 1944.[4][5] He played more games in 1945–46, but Benfica failed to win any silverware.[6][7] He left the club in 1946 with 29 appearances and 2 goals.[1]
