Ndunguidi Gonçalves Daniel, better known as Daniel Ndunguidi or simply Ndunguidi, (born 1956) is a former Angolan football player.
Ndunguidi, whose career peaked in the 1980s while playing for Primeiro de Agosto as a forward, is widely considered Angola's most prominent football player, following independence. His fame and talent is only matched by that of Petro Atlético's José Saturnino de Oliveira aka "Jesus". In 1979, an attempt by Sporting Clube de Portugal to sign him was barred for political reasons as was another attempt by Benfica de Portugal in 1990.[1]
Throughout his career, from 1976 to the late 1980s, Ndunguidi has made 80 appearances for the Angolan national football team.
After ending his career as a player, he followed a short coaching career.
At present, he has been serving as an adviser to the chairman of Primeiro de Agosto.[2]
