Armando Teixeira
Armando Gonçalves Teixeira (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐɾˈmɐ̃du ɣõˈsalvɨʃ tɐjˈʃɐjɾɐ]; born 25 September 1976), known as Petit, is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder, currently a manager.
He received the moniker Petit because of his small frame, and also because he was born in France. He also became known as Pitbull by supporters because of his fierce approach, in addition to a powerful outside shot.
After helping Boavista win their first and only Primeira Liga championship, he went on to amass more than 200 official appearances for Benfica, winning another three major titles. He also spent several seasons in Germany with 1. FC Köln, but his later years were marred by injury problems.
A Portugal international during the 2000s, Petit represented the nation in two World Cups – finishing fourth in the 2006 edition – and as many European Championships. He started working as a manager in 2012, with Boavista, and led five other top-flight teams.
