UEFA Cup: Guimarães wrap up Dário deal

/noticias.info/ UEFA Cup contenders Vitória SC have signed Mozambican international striker Dário for an undisclosed fee.

Seven-year stay
Dário, who played in the Portuguese Liga last season with A. Académica de Coimbra after being loaned by Dubai side Al Jazira, has agreed a one-year contract. The 28-year-old started his career in his homeland with Desportivo de Maputo, before joining Académica in 1996. He spent seven years at the Coimbra club, then moved to Al Jazira in 2003. Dário failed to settle in the United Arab Emirates, however, and was loaned back to Académica in 2004/05, scoring six goals in 25 games.

'Great club'
"Guimarães are a great club and I'm very happy to be here," Dário said. "I want to express my gratitude to club president Vítor Magalhães, who did everything in his power to sign me." Guimarães will enter this year's UEFA Cup in the first round, after finishing fifth in the Portuguese top flight in 2004/05. notas_de_prensa_archivo
