Armando Gonçalves Teixeira (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐɾˈmɐ̃du ɣõˈsalvɨʃ tɐjˈʃɐjɾɐ]; born 25 September 1976), known as Petit, is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder, currently a manager. He received the moniker Petit because of his small frame, and also because he was born in France. He also became known as Pitbull by supporters because of his fierce approach, in addition to a powerful outside shot. After helping Boavista win their first and only Primeira Liga championship, he went on to amass more than 200 official appearances for Benfica, winning another three major titles.
