José Alberto Barroso Machado e Costa (born 31 October 1953) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a left winger, and a current manager.
In 15 Primeira Liga seasons – 16 as a professional in total – he amassed totals of 301 games and 37 goals, in representation of four teams, namely Porto. Subsequently, he embarked in a lengthy managerial career.
Costa was born in Porto. Still as a junior, he made his professional – and top division – debuts with Académica de Coimbra, playing 12 first-team games in an eventual relegation and contributing with 18 and two goals in an immediate promotion back. He spent a portion of the summer of 1977 on loan with the Rochester Lancers of the North American Soccer League, appearing in eight matches and scoring once.
After scoring a career-best ten goals in the 1977–78 season with the Students, Costa signed for FC Porto. A classic winger with an above-average physical condition – he practiced track and field and handball in his first club, Sport Clube Vila Real – he went on to form a formidable attacking trio in the club with Fernando Gomes and António Oliveira, being instrumental in the conquest of six major titles, including two national championships; he was voted the Portuguese Footballer of The Year in 1979, and also appeared as a substitute in the final of the 1983–84 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, lost against Juventus F.C. in Basel.
