Rui Vítor da Silva Ferreira (born 29 March 1973) is a Portuguese football manager and former player.

A midfielder, he played 188 Primeira Liga games for Salgueiros, Vitória de Guimarães and Belenenses over seven consecutive seasons starting in 1999. He represented several clubs in the second tier, winning the title with Gil Vicente in 1998–99.

Ferreira began his managerial career with Boavista in 2010. He led Feirense, Torreense and Académico Viseu in the second division.

Playing career

Born in Espinho in the Aveiro District, Ferreira played as a youth for local S.C. Espinho before moving to S.L. Benfica, but began his senior career in the lower leagues. In 1998–99, he contributed six goals to Gil Vicente F.C.'s conquest of the second tier, leading to a transfer to S.C. Salgueiros in the Primeira Liga.[1] He made his debut in the top flight on 22 August, in a 1–0 home win over C.S. Marítimo.[2]

In June 2002, after Salgueiros were relegated, Ferreira signed a one-year deal at Vitória de Guimarães, becoming their sixth free transfer of the summer due to the president's order.[3] Having already been courted by the club in April 2002,[4] Ferreira signed for C.F. Os Belenenses on an 18-month deal in January 2005.[5]

Ferreira joined Portimonense S.C. in the second tier in August 2006. He said that he still had the quality to play in the top flight, but was unable to receive a contract due to being 33.[6] He began 2008–09 at his hometown club Espinho, and signed for C.D. Santa Clara in January.[7]

Managerial career

In August 2010, Ferreira was appointed at Boavista F.C. in the third tier.[8] His debut on 22 September was a 2–2 home draw with Cesarense.[9] After leaving in January 2011, he later managed A.D. Nogueirense and Espinho.[10]

Ferreira was hired for the under-23 team of C.D. Feirense in January 2020.[11] He started the following season in charge of FC Felgueiras 1932 but returned to Feirense on 29 March 2021 as first-team manager due to a contractual clause allowing him to leave at zero cost for a club in the professional leagues; he replaced Filó at the club from Santa Maria da Feira, who were second in the league.[12]

On 4 April 2021, Ferreira debuted as manager in the second tier, in a 1–1 home draw with C.D. Cova da Piedade in which his team conceded in the final seconds.[13] His team missed out on promotion by falling to 5th by the end of his eight games of the season.[14] In 2021–22, he led the team to fourth place, one off the playoffs;[15] halfway through it, he extended his contract to 2024.[16]

Having helped Feirense to 8th place in the league by beating S.C.U. Torreense on the final day, Ferreira contacted the board and was released from the final year of his contract on 26 May 2023.[17] A week later, he was hired by Torreense.[10] He left on 11 December, with the club from Torres Vedras 6th in the league having won and drawn five each of 13 fixtures; they also reached the fourth round of the Taça de Portugal by defeating top-flight Rio Ave F.C. and made the second round of the Taça da Liga.[18]

On 23 May 2024, Ferreira signed a one-year deal at Académico de Viseu F.C. also in the second tier.[19] He was the league's Manager of the Month for August, his first month in the job, winning three and drawing one game, while scoring 10 goals and conceding 3.[20]
