Nuno Filipe Oliveira Santos (born 9 July 1978) is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Playing career
[edit]Born in Coimbra, Baixo Mondego, Santos started his professional career with Sporting CP. Barred by the likes of Peter Schmeichel and Ricardo during his spell[1] he only appeared once for the first team in the Primeira Liga,[2] and was loaned to several clubs during his contract, including F.C. Penafiel in the Segunda Liga in the 2003–04 season.[3]
After helping the northern side to return to the top flight, Santos had his loan extended until 30 June 2005.[4] At the end of the campaign, which ended with an 11th position and the subsequent league status preservation, he agreed to a permanent deal.[5]
Subsequently, Santos joined Vitória de Guimarães, battling for second-choice duties with Serginho as Brazilian Nilson was the undisputed starter.[6] In 2009–10 he left for Vitória de Setúbal on a free transfer,[7] and featured in 15 matches during the season – the other goalkeeper, Mário Felgueiras, played 14 – as the Sadinos barely avoided top-tier relegation.[8]
In summer 2010, Santos initially signed with Portimonense S.C. for one year.[9] However, shortly after, the deal fell through and the player joined Gil Vicente F.C. of division two, also in a one-year contract.[10] He played the first game of the campaign, a 2–1 home win against C.D. Trofense, but was replaced by Vítor Murta in the tenth minute after suffering an injury.[11]
Coaching career
[edit]After retiring in early 2015 at the age of 36, Santos joined his last club G.D. Ribeirão's staff as a goalkeeper coach.[12] In the same capacity, he later worked with Gil Vicente's youths and Leixões SC.[13]
Santos returned to Gil Vicente and their under-19 team ahead of 2017–18, but now as manager.[14][15] He left in November 2019, accepting a goalkeeping coach position at Saudi Arabian club Al-Fayha FC where his compatriot Jorge Simão was the manager.[16]
Subsequently, Santos was part of Moreno's staff at Vitória de Guimarães (both first and second teams)[17] and G.D. Chaves.[18]
