Costinha was born in Lisbon to an Angolan father, who had emigrated to the Portuguese capital in the 60s. In the 1997 summer, after years of playing in the lower leagues, he caught the interest of French side AS Monaco FC while playing with C.D. Nacional in the second division. After a tentative first season he became an important first team member, helping with 28 matches and one goal to the club's 1999–2000 conquest of the Ligue 1 championship.
Aged almost 27, Costinha made his Portuguese top flight debut when he signed with F.C. Porto in 2001, going on to be an instrumental midfield element in the northerners' two consecutive national championships. On 9 March 2004 he scored against and effectively knocked out Manchester United in 2003–04's UEFA Champions League first knockout round. Porto went on to win the title, beating Costinha's former side Monaco 3–0 in the final.
Again a starter throughout most of the 2004–05 season, Costinha was sold to FC Dynamo Moscow in May 2005 for €4 million, alongside teammates Maniche and Giourkas Seitaridis, following Derlei (left in January). Unsettled, he left for Atlético Madrid, where he would play in the 2006–07 season.
Costinha waas released by the Colchoneros in August 2007, joining Serie A outfit Atalanta BC, where he appeared very rarely throughout his spell (only one match, in his first season) due to serious injuries and, later, technical choices from his club, who considered the player unfit to play competitively, despite him having the highest salary in the first team (€700,000 per year, in a contract due to expire in June 2010). The club tried to agree a mutual termination of the contract with the player, and also attempted unsuccessfully to obtain rescision of his contract through the Italian Football League. On 23 February 2010, 35-year-old Costinha left Atalanta by mutual consent.
