Club career

Monteiro arrived in Paris from Brazil in 1973. He tried out for Paris Saint-Germain after speaking to the coach at the time, Just Fontaine. Fontaine decided to keep Monteiro and give him a contract after a training session in which he displayed "correct technique".[3]

Monteiro played his first match with PSG on 27 October 1973, in a 5-1 league win over Gueugnon. He scored in the 44th minute of his debut match.[4] On 10 November 1973, Monteiro played and scored in a league match against Red Star, the first game ever played by Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes. His goal, scored from a header, was the second goal ever scored at the stadium by the club.[5]

Monteiro made his Coupe de France debut on 16 December 1973 in a 1–0 win against Chartres.[6] He played his final match for the Parisian club on 20 January 1974 against Angoulême, a 2–2 draw in which he scored the opening goal.[7]

After football

After his football career, Monteiro went to live in the south of France. He became the leader of a Samba group, and created a disk of Brazilian music.[8]

Armando Monteiro died on 22 October 2008.
