*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Fernando 'Nando' Có (born 8 October 1973) is a Bissau-Guinean former footballer. Besides Portugal, he has played in Malaysia, Luxembourg, and Spain.

He is the all-time top scorer for the Guinea-Bisseau national team, with nine goals in six appearances as well as holding the all-time highest goal scoring ratio in international football of 1.5.

Career

In 1997, he signed for Racing Santander. In 1998, he signed for CD Numancia.

Signed by Sarawak of the Malaysia Super League in 2004 to partner Ghanaian Robert Eshun up front, Manuel Có starred in the club's first win of the season in May, striking a brace to beat Sabah 3–1. Treated as a hero after the match, his first goal was scored off a penalty that game and his second came in the 18th minute that game, allaying players fears of a loss; however, the forward was booked for taking off his shirt after converting the penalty. Shown their third yellow card that season, Manuel Có and Eshun were suspended for one match in August.
