Club career
Born in Lourenço Marques, Portuguese Mozambique, Xavier began his professional career with Lisbon-based Sporting CP, already being a regular first-team fixture at age 19. He played 23 Primeira Liga games as the Lions won the title in the 1981–82 season, which would be the last until 2000.
In 1991, after more than 250 competitive appearances, Xavier moved, alongside compatriot and teammate Oceano, to Spain's Real Sociedad, where the pair was equally influential, having been reunited with former Sporting boss John Toshack at the La Liga side.[1][2]
Both Xavier and Oceano returned to Sporting in the summer of 1994, and the former played two more years before retiring at the age of 34. In the 2004–05 campaign he had a brief spell at coaching, assisting at another club from the capital and the top division, G.D. Estoril Praia.[3]
International career
Xavier won ten caps for Portugal,[4] then switched successfully to its beach soccer team.[5]
Personal life
Xavier's twin brother, Pedro, was also a footballer. A forward, he represented several teams in the country (coinciding with Carlos at Académica) in an 18-year professional career.[6]
Xavier lived in Quinta da Beloura, a gated community in Sintra on the Portuguese Riviera.[7]
On October 10 of 2023, Carlos Xavier referred to Mehdi Taremi as "a Muslim who, when he came to Portugal, didn't know how to swim and now he knows how to dive". At the cost of these racist insults directed towards Mehdi Taremi, Sporting CP was charged €15,300.[7]
