Mário Fernando Magalhães da Silva (born 24 April 1977; Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈmaɾiu ˈsiɫvɐ]) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a left back, and a current manager.
Playing career
Silva was born in Porto. Having grown through the ranks of local Boavista F.C.[1] he went on to represent FC Nantes, FC Porto, Recreativo de Huelva and Cádiz CF, returning to Boavista in July 2006 and leaving after two seasons due to unpaid wages, in a litigation that would only be solved in March 2010.[2]
Silva enjoyed his best years while with Porto, playing second fiddle to Nuno Valente on a side that won the 2002–03 UEFA Cup and the following year's UEFA Champions League, while also adding back-to-back national titles under José Mourinho. Also at the club, on 27 March 2002, he earned his sole cap for the Portuguese national team, appearing in a 1–4 friendly home defeat to Finland.[3]
Midway through the 2008–09 campaign Silva moved countries again, joining Cyprus' Doxa Katokopias F.C. of the first division.[4] However, he was released after only a couple of months, and retired in the summer after not being able to find a new team.
Coaching career
In 2010 Silva began working as a manager, acting as both youth and assistant coach in Boavista (the latter already in the main squad). In June of the following year, with the team still in the third level, he was appointed as Filipe Gouveia's successor.[5]
Silva resigned from his position just five months into the season, citing lack of payment as the reason for his departure.[6]
