Frederico Nobre Rosa (6 April 1957 – 17 February 2019), known simply as Frederico, was a Portuguese professional footballer who played as a central defender.
Frederico was born in Castro Verde, Baixo Alentejo. During his club career he played for CUF, Barreirense, Benfica (having to compete with the likes of Humberto Coelho – his idol – he featured solely as a backup), Boavista (his most steady period, with eight consecutive Primeira Liga seasons, nearly 300 official appearances and team captaincy), Vitória de Guimarães, Estrela da Amadora and Leixões.[1][2]
Frederico retired in June 1995, at the age of 38.
Frederico won 18 caps for Portugal, being selected for the roster at the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico.[1][2] On 29 March 1989, he scored two of his five goals in a 6–0 friendly win against Angola at the Estádio José Alvalade[3] and, the following month, added another in the 3–1 victory over Switzerland in the 1990 World Cup qualifying stage.[4]
