Portuguese footballer
LuÃs Miguel Assunção Joaquim (born 5 March 1979), known as Alhandra, is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played mainly as a left-back. He could also appear as a midfielder.
Alhandra was born in Vila Franca de Xira, Lisbon District. An unsuccessful graduate of Sporting CP‘s youth academy, he started professionally with its farm team, S.C. Lourinhanense. After a brief spell with FC Porto‘s reserves he lived his most steady period with U.D. Leiria, helping the side to participations in the UEFA Intertoto Cup and being regularly used over the course of six Primeira Liga seasons (a maximum of 30 league games in 2005–06 and a minimum of 16 in 2007–08, with the latter campaign ending in relegation).
On 2 April 2008, Alhandra signed a two-year contract with Enosis Neon Paralimni FC, adding to the massive Portuguese contingent at the Cypriot club. He returned to Portugal after one sole season, joining Segunda Liga team Gil Vicente F.C. and being released at the end of the campaign.
Subsequently, Alhandra resumed his career in the lower leagues of his country, retiring in 2012 at the age of 33.
