José Mamede Aleixo Ferreira (born 24 February 1974 in Torrão, Alcácer do Sal), known as Mamede, is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a midfielder.

During his professional career, he played mainly in Italy (nine years), but almost never in Serie A.

Football career

Mamede started playing professionally with Vitória Futebol Clube, remaining with the Setúbal outfit for eight seasons. In 2000–01, he moved abroad, joining Serie A's Reggina Calcio, and scoring once, in a campaign which ended in relegation, although he stayed with the club and helped it return to the top flight the immediate year after.

In 2003–04, Mamede joined FC Messina Peloro and proved decisive in the side's promotion to the first division. However, he was scarcely used in the following campaign, and dropped down a level in January 2006, signing with Genoa CFC.

Subsequently, Mamede stayed in Italy for the duration of his career, playing with Perugia, Salernitana Calcio 1919 and Potenza SC, all on loan from Genoa.
