During his career, Setúbal-born Venâncio represented two clubs in the Primeira Liga, Sporting CP and Boavista FC, making more than 250 official appearances for the former albeit without no silverware won during his ten-year spell. He retired at only 30, in a career downed by constant injuries.[1]
During his stint at Sporting, Venâncio formed a pair of youth graduate stoppers alongside António Morato.[2][3]
Venâncio won 21 caps for Portugal over six years.[4] He was selected for the 1986 FIFA World Cup, but had to quit before the tournament in Mexico started due to an injury.[1]
Venâncio's son, Frederico, was also a footballer and a central defender. He too was brought up at Vitória.[5][6]
