"Sport Lisboa e Benfica regrets the sad news of the death of Fernando Vieira Dias, a former footballer born in Angola who represented the Club between 1957 and 1959", says Benfica on its official page.
In his career, the former midfielder played two seasons at Benfica, from 1957 to 1959, between the first team and the reserves, then playing for Atlético and CUF, an emblem in which he would end up doing almost the entire journey as a player.
