Ricardo Filipe Lima Duarte (born 12 February 1980) is a Portuguese football manager, currently working as a manager of Finnish club FC Lahti in Veikkausliiga.

Coaching career

Duarte has worked as an assistant professor in the University of Lisbon, teaching football in the Faculty of Human Motricity. He worked also as an assistant coach of Primeira Liga club Vitória de Setúbal in the 2016–17 season.

Duarte moved to Finland in 2018 and worked as an assistant coach of Petri Vuorinen in Vaasan Palloseura (VPS). Later in the Autumn 2018, he was named the training director of the Football Association of Finland. On 4 August 2020, Duarte was appointed the head coach of IF Gnistan in Finnish second-tier Ykkönen.[1]

In October 2021, Duarte was named the new manager of Veikkausliiga club AC Oulu, after the sacking of Jyrki Ahola.[2] He managed to secure the league spot for the club after defeating Rovaniemen Palloseura (RoPS) in the relegation play-offs. At the end of the next 2022 season, Duarte managed AC Oulu to finish 7th in Veikkausliiga, after having narrowly missed the top-6. In the 2023 Finnish League Cup, Duarte led the club to the final, where they were eventually defeated by HJK. Later on 17 August 2023, it was announced that he would leave the club after the season as his option was not exercised.[3] However, on 25 August 2023, his contract was terminated with the immediate effect after the loss against Ilves in the semi-final of the 2023 Finnish Cup and the poor results in the league.[4]

On 30 October 2023, Duarte returned to Portugal after he was appointed the head coach of Vianense in Liga 3. He was dismissed on 29 January 2024 after nine league matches, with a record of one win, three draws and five losses.[5]

On 21 June 2024, he was named the manager of FC Lahti in Veikkausliiga, after the sacking of Toni Lindberg.[6]
