José Orlando Vinha Rocha Semedo (born 5 March 1965) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a central midfielder.
He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 248 games and 28 goals over the course of 15 seasons, representing in the competition Porto and Salgueiros.
[1] In 1994, Semedo, who was a relatively important unit in 12 of Porto's 22 accolades during his spell, suffered a severe knee injury from which he never recovered.
Two years later, in the same capacity, he returned to Porto's seniors, joining newly appointed Vítor Pereira's staff.
[1] One of those came on 31 March 1993 in a 1–1 draw in Switzerland for the 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, as the national side finished third in their group, being eliminated from the final stages precisely by those opponents.
