Born in Guimarães of Austrian descent through his grandmother, Händel was a youth player at local clubs Moreirense F.C. and Vitória de Guimarães. He signed his first professional contract with the latter on 27 March 2019, lasting until 2023 and with a buyout clause of €15 million; [2] [3] on 24 June 2021, having started his senior career with the reserve team in the third division he extended the link to 2026 and increased the clause to €50 million.

Händel suffered a left thigh injury in February 2022, ruling him out of the rest of the season and the start of the next. [7] After two games back in the reserves, [8] he made his comeback on 18 March 2023 as a substitute in a 5–1 loss at S.L. Benfica.
