Miguel is in his second season at Chiefs where his influence is already visible to the naked eye.

The 29-year-old is set to take over as team captain following Yusuf Maart’s departure to Austrian club SV Ried 1912.
What will make his appointment as captain natural is that he played eight games with the armband last season.
In light of becoming the regular skipper Miguel is being considered for a return to the Angolan national team.
The last of his five caps for Palancas Negras was in November 2023 when he came on as a substitute in a World Cup qualifier against Cape Verde.
At the last AFCON finals, the Portugal born Angolan was a late call-up but never featured.
This website has been told Pedro Gonçalves is keeping track of what Miguel’s growing influence at Chiefs and has placed his name amongst those to consider in September.
Palancas Negras have two 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Libya and Mauritius coming up before they play Eswatini and Cameroon in October.
There will then be the massive friendly international against fellow Portuguese speaking country Brazil during the November FIFA dates.

Last week an Angolan publication made claims about what Miguel is earning at Chiefs.
That figure equated to R4,6 million per annum with his transfer from Petro de Luanda having been USD250 000 (approx. R4,4 million).
