Luís Olim


Luís Miguel de Olim Andrade, known as Olim, is a Portuguese former professional footballer. A versatile defender, he could play on either flank or in the middle.

Club career

After graduating from the youth academy at hometown's C.S. Marítimo in 2000, Funchal-born Olim spent his entire career with the Madeira club, but never managed to hold down a regular starting place. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 28 January 2001, playing 90 minutes in a 2–0 away loss against Gil Vicente FC, and finished his first season with the main squad with only three league appearances.
For the duration of his spell, Olim also featured regularly for the B team in both the second and third divisions. He retired in June 2015, two months shy of his 34th birthday, being appointed assistant coach at precisely the reserves.

International career

Olim participated with the Portugal under-20 side at the 2001 Toulon Tournament, scoring in the 4–1 group-stage win over Japan for the eventual champions.
