Ivan Manuel Amorim dos Santos (born 22 September 1988) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for S.C. Freamunde as a midfielder.

Football career

Born in Espinho, Santos made his Portuguese first division debuts in the 2007–08 season with Boavista FC, and scored in his last appearance of the campaign, a 1–2 away loss against Sporting Clube de Portugal. In July 2008 he signed a three-year contract with S.L. Benfica, but was immediately loaned to Boavista, with the northern club now in the second level for irregularities.

After appearing regularly for the Porto side, again relegated, Santos was loaned once more for 2009–10, joining another team in division two, freshly-promoted A.D. Carregado. Shortly after he dropped down to the third division and joined, in the same predicament, Atlético Clube de Portugal.

In the 2010–11 season Santos played with hometown's S.C. Espinho, scoring three goals for an eventual seventh-place finish in level three. For the following campaign he returned to the second division, signing for U.D. Oliveirense and helping it reach the semifinals of the Portuguese Cup for the first time ever.
