Football career

Born in Funchal, Madeira, Carlos Jorge arrived in C.S. Marítimo's youth system at the age of 16, making his first-team and first division debuts two years later. After a one-year loan to C.F. União in the second level, also in the island, he returned to become an essential defensive unit, amassing 120 league appearances in four seasons (with nine goals); in the 1990–91 campaign, as his side finished tenth – the top division in Portugal then comprised 20 teams – he played all 38 games and minutes, scoring a career-best five goals.

In 1992 Carlos Jorge signed with Sporting Clube de Portugal, but appeared sparingly over the course of two seasons. He then returned to the Verde-rubros, playing a further seven years always in the main category; in 1997–98 the everpresent team captain scored four in 30 matches as Marítimo qualified for the UEFA Cup, where they would exit in the first round against Leeds United (on penalties).

Carlos Jorge begun his manager career in 2009, acting as assistant coach to both the first and second teams of his main club.
