Carlos Hugo Freitas Carneiro (born 3 March 1982) is a Portuguese handballer who plays for Sporting CP and the Portugal national team.
Career
Born in Guimarães, Carneiro started his youth career in his hometown club, Vitória S.C. at age 15, he then spent a two-year span at Xico Andebol, before joining ABC Braga and start a professional career at age 18, and debuting for the national team, only a year later.[2]
In 2004, he moved to Madeira Andebol SAD and won the league in his first season, and finished runner-up in the second.[2] His performances led to a move to Benfica after two seasons in Madeira.[2]
In his first year in Lisbon, Carneiro helped the Eagles conquer their first national team in 18 years, plus, he added a League Cup in the next season.[3] His best individual seasons came in 2010/11 and in 2012/13, when he was elected Most Valuable Player of the Liga Portuguesa de Andebol, while also adding three titles in other competitions.[4][5]
On 5 June 2015, Benfica announced the departure of Carneiro after 8 seasons defending the Eagles, with the 33-year-old joining cross-town rivals Sporting, shortly after.[6][7]
