Litos left the Lions in 1992, and represented, without much success at least in his country's Primeira Liga, Boavista FC, S.C. Braga, G.D. Estoril Praia, US Lusitanos Saint-Maur (third division, in France) and Atlético Clube de Portugal.
Litos began working as a manager in 2004, starting with former club Estoril and not being able to prevent relegation from the top flight.
