The 28-year-old has arrived at Chiefs having already played in the CAF Champions League with Petro Luanda and in the Europa League during his time in Latvia.
He has also played second tier league football in Portugal and top level in Romania.
"It gives me confidence [having] played (CAF) Champions League and Europa League but most important is that I'm not trying to be the commander or soldier," states Miguel when asked about his experience.
"I'm trying to be one of them.
"I'm trying to adapt as fast as possible and have them become commanders themselves.
"If we have 11 commanders, it will be much easier than when we have one.
"My mission at Kaizer Chiefs is to make all of them commanders and then it will be much easier.
"I don't need armband.
"My mission here is to be a leader but without showing to the people that I'm a leader.
"I must prove that I'm a leader with the results and effort at training and being an example for the young boys.
"That is my mission as a leader.
"The armband is good with Yusuf (Maart) because I respect him as a captain, and he has played a lot of times for Chiefs, and he is a leader as a I said inside the locker room.
"I don't need the armband but for everyone to stick together and everyone will be their own captain of this team.
"We have to understand that we need 11 captains and not one.

"If we have 11 captains it will be easier for everyone," explains Miguel adding on about how he has fitted in.
"It was easy to adapt because all the lads received me very well.
"Everyone, not just players, from the kitchen to the security, I have had a warm welcome and I'm grateful for that," he notes.
