Quim was only regularly used in two of his five seasons with Porto, helping to the conquest of three leagues, one cup and two supercups. He also played the first 45 minutes of the 1986–87 European Cup final, as the team came from behind to win it 2–1 against FC Bayern Munich for their first triumph in the European Cup. Also from the bench, he also appeared in that year's Intercontinental Cup, won against Peñarol in extra time.
