Ricardo Manuel Andrade e Silva Sá Pinto (born 10 October 1972) is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a forward, currently manager of Botola club Raja Casablanca.
He was known for his fighting spirit, best displayed in his stints at Sporting CP, where he was dubbed "Ricardo Lionheart" by the club's fans.[2] In a career cut short by injury and suspension, he appeared in 230 Primeira Liga games (scoring 51 goals), also playing for Real Sociedad in Spain for two years.
Sá Pinto represented the Portugal national team in two European Championships, reaching the semi-finals at Euro 2000. He started working as a manager with Sporting in 2012, and also worked in ten foreign countries.
In the 1994–95 season, Sá Pinto joined Sporting CP. After some solid performances he attracted the attention of La Liga's Real Sociedad, signing a four-year contract in July 1997 for a fee of 400 million pesetas, but was issued with a year-long worldwide suspension before making his debut.[3][4] He scored in his first official game for his new club, a 3–3 home draw with Real Oviedo on 30 August 1998.[5]
After 70 matches and six goals in Spain, Sá Pinto returned to Sporting where he played six further years, troubled by many injuries,[6][7] although he eventually gained team captaincy. In the 2006–07 campaign he joined fellow Portuguese international Sérgio Conceição at Standard Liège – with Jorge Costa having retired at the club in the summer – in the Belgian Pro League,[8] and retired at almost 35.[9]
On 26 March 1997, Sá Pinto assaulted national team coach Artur Jorge upon hearing the news of not having been picked up for a match. The player travelled to the Estádio Nacional in Lisbon where the team was practicing, and punched the manager in the face, being banned for one year from all national and international competitions.[15]
Sá Pinto's last appearance was in the 6–0 victory over Cyprus for the 2002 FIFA World Cupqualifiers, on 6 June 2001.[16] An injury prevented him from being present at the finals.[17]
Coaching career
Early years (2009–2012)
In early November 2009, Sá Pinto returned to Sporting, replacing former teammate Pedro Barbosa as director of football as coach Paulo Bento was sacked following a string of poor performances/results. On 21 January 2010, following a physical confrontation with club player Liédson in the team's locker room after the 4–3 home win against Mafra in the Taça de Portugal, he immediately presented his resignation.[18]
Sá Pinto was appointed at Serbian giants Red Star Belgrade on 18 March 2013,[23] winning the first eight SuperLiga matches in charge of the club but resigning his post on 19 June, in disagreement with its board of directors.[24] From October 2013 to February 2015, he worked in the Super League Greece with OFI and Atromitos.[25][26]
Sá Pinto returned to Portugal and its capital in June 2015, after agreeing to become Belenenses manager in replacement of Lito Vidigal, signing a two-year contract.[27] On 15 December, however, after a 4–3 away defeat against Académica de Coimbra and failure to qualify from the Europa League group stage, he resigned from his position.[28]
In August 2018, Sá Pinto was announced as the new manager of Legia Warsaw after signing a three-year contract with the Ekstraklasa club.[39] He was sacked the following April with the team in second, five points off Lechia Gdańsk with three games remaining.[40]
Return to Portugal (2019–2022)
On 3 July 2019, Sá Pinto returned to his country for the first time in four years, taking over Braga on a two-year deal.[41] He was dismissed on 23 December with the team eighth in the league, despite winning their Europa League group.[42]
On 20 January 2021, Sá Pinto agreed to a two-and-a-half-year deal at Gaziantep of the Turkish Süper Lig.[45] He left in May at the end of his first campaign, criticising his players, the club president and his predecessor Marius Șumudică.[46][47]
Sá Pinto became Moreirense's third coach of the season on 7 January 2022, following the dismissals of João Henriques and Vidigal.[48] He led the team to 16th place after a 4–1 win over Vizela on the final day sent Tondela down instead,[49] but was relegated in the promotion/relegation play-offs after a 2–1 aggregate loss to Chaves.[50] He missed the play-offs after being issued with a 15-day suspension and €2,805 fine for provoking opposing fans after the Vizela game, and then called for his club's supporters to revolt against the local National Republican Guard captain;[51] the force initiated criminal proceedings against him for this declaration.[52] Days later, his contract was allowed to expire.[53]
Esteghlal
On 21 June 2022, Sá Pinto was appointed coach of Iranian club Esteghlal, signing a two-year contract.[54] He won the domestic Supercup on 2 November after beating Nassaji Mazandaran 1–0, and dedicated the conquest to the "country's women and men who are suffering".[55]
On 8 June 2023, Sá Pinto was confirmed as manager of APOEL in the Cypriot First Division; his assistants were José Dominguez (who worked with him at Gaziantep) and Nuno Morais (who played for over a decade at the Nicosia club).[58] He won the national championship in his only season, with his team recording the best attack at 63 goals scored and defence at 24 conceded.[59]
