Club career
Born in Seixal, Setúbal District, Correia appeared in 299 Primeira Liga matches during nine seasons, scoring a combined nine goals for F.C. Vizela and G.D. Chaves and also representing F.C. Penafiel. He made his debut in the competition on 26 August 1984 whilst at the service of the first club, in a 1–2 home loss against S.L. Benfica.[1]
Correia retired at the end of the 1995–96 campaign at the age of 34, after helping Chaves retain their top level status. He subsequently worked as a manager, being in charge of several sides in the Segunda Liga.
Personal life
Correia's son, Rui, was also a footballer and a defender.[2]

gollark: Presumably it is, because Novavax's vaccine uses actual spike proteins + adjuvant.
gollark: I thought so, but it turns out that in some age groups it is actually seemingly a net negative to be vaccinated with some of the vaccines, and the non-adenovirus ones don't seem to have this problem so there's a fairly usable solution.
