Tonel Biography

Tonel is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on April 13, 1980 in Lourosa, Lourosa, Portugal. António Leonel Vilar Nogueira Sousa (Portuguese pronunciation: [tuˈnɛɫ] ; born 13 April 1980), known as Tonel, is a retired Portuguese professional footballer who played as a central defender, and a manager.

Tonel made his debut with Portugal in a UEFA Euro 2008 qualifier against Kazakhstan in Coimbra, playing 77 minutes in a 3–0 win on 15 November 2006. His second cap came more than three years after (on 3 March 2010), as he was called as a last-minute replacement for injured Ricardo Carvalho for a friendly with China, played in the same venue (2–0 win).

After furthering his link with the Lions until 2011, Tonel scored five goals overall during 2007–08, including one in a 2–1 win at FC Dynamo Kyiv for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League (incidentally, Polga netted the other). In late October 2008, after an injury in a draw at F.C. Paços de Ferreira, he lost his place to youth graduate Daniel Carriço, and never regained it again during the season, although he himself took Polga’s place midway through the following campaign.

Tonel was released at the end of his contract, in December 2012.

On 23 July 2005, after an impressive season, Tonel signed a three-year deal with Sporting CP for €500,000. The second stint with another club of the Big Three was much more successful this time, as he was an everpresent figure at Sporting’s back four since his arrival alongside Brazil international Ânderson Polga, also scoring the occasional goal on set pieces.

Coming through the youth teams of FC Porto, Tonel was born in Lourosa (Santa Maria da Feira), and made his professional debut when he was loaned out to Académica de Coimbra during 2000–01, helping them promote to the Primeira Liga in his second year. Despite earning a good reputation during his three-season spell, he was deemed surplus to requirements by his parent club and was released, moving to C.S. Marítimo during the 2004 off-season as part of an exchange deal with Porto which saw Pepe arrive at the Estádio do Dragão.

Tonel enjoyed a hugely successful season for the Madeira side, picking up some European experience during their UEFA Cup tie against Rangers. He partnered with Dutch Mitchell van der Gaag in defence and became one of the team’s leading figures, playing 28 league games and scoring once in a 2–1 home win over Boavista F.C. on 25 September 2004.

On 27 August 2010, after falling out of favour with new manager Paulo Sérgio, 30-year-old Tonel signed for Croatian club GNK Dinamo Zagreb. He made his official debut in an Eternal derby match against HNK Hajduk Split, on 11 September; he was awarded No. 13 shirt in the Prva HNL, but played with No. 28 in European fixtures, as Dario Šimić had been registered with the former number at the start of the 2010–11 season, before retiring in August 2010.
