*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Bruno Miguel Fernandes Ribeiro (born 22 October 1975) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a midfielder, and a current manager.

His main asset was a powerful left-foot strike, and he spent most of his career playing for Vitória de Setúbal, also having a four-year abroad spell in England. He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 198 games and eight goals over the course of 11 seasons, also representing in the competition União de Leiria, Beira-Mar and Santa Clara.

Playing career

Ribeiro was born in Setúbal. After making his professional debuts with hometown's Vitória FC in 1994 he was signed by Leeds United manager George Graham three years later, and was a key component of the rebuilding exercise that the latter had been brought in to do. Injured at the start of the 1998–99 season he never really regained his place under new boss David O'Leary, and was eventually transferred to Sheffield United in October 1999 for £500,000, where he scored once against West Bromwich Albion.[1]

In January 2001 Ribeiro returned to Portugal, on loan to U.D. Leiria, before moving to S.C. Beira-Mar in the 2001–02 campaign. The following season he joined Azores' C.D. Santa Clara[2] and suffered top flight relegation, subsequently rejoining Vitória with whom he started his professional career, with the club now playing in the second division, and contributing with 27 games (one goal) as it was immediately promoted back.

Aged almost 34, Ribeiro gradually lost his importance in the squad – only 28 appearances in his last two years combined, even though he scored the 1–0 winner against Sporting Clube de Portugal on 24 February 2008, with a long-range effort[3]– being loaned (initially) for 2009–10 to lowly G.D. Chaves, in the second level; however, after Manuel Fernandes was reinstated as club coach, the player returned to the squad starting in January 2010,[4][5] contributing with seven games as the Sadinos once again barely avoided relegation and retiring shortly after.

Managerial career

In early March 2011, after Fernandes was sacked by Setúbal, Ribeiro was appointed his successor.[6] He had just started his coaching career months earlier, having been appointed at the club's under-17; on 13 February 2012, following a 0–3 away loss against S.C. Braga that placed the team last in the league, he was relieved of his duties and later harshly criticized the board of directors,[7] but Vitória eventually retained its league status.

In early June 2012, Ribeiro signed with S.C. Farense in the lower leagues.[8] From March to November 2014 he worked with Moura Atlético Clube, also in the third level.[9]

Ribeiro returned to Setúbal in late January 2015, taking over from fired Domingos Paciência[10] and eventually managing to avoid top flight relegation even though he only won three of his 17 games in charge. On 17 June, he was appointed at Bulgarian side PFC Ludogorets Razgrad, recording three losses in his first three matches, including elimination from the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds; he was sacked after less than two months in charge.
