Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo (born 25 January 1974), known as simply Nuno, is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and the current manager of Rio Ave FC.

During his career he first made a name for himself in Spain, playing for three teams in five years. He later represented Porto in his country, albeit with little impact, and also played professionally in Russia.

Nuno was part of the Portuguese squad at Euro 2008, but never won a cap for the national team.

Playing career

Born in São Tomé, São Tomé and Príncipe, Nuno started his football career with Vitória Sport Clube in Guimarães, battling from age 20 with veteran Neno for first-choice status. In January 1997 he was acquired by La Liga's Deportivo de La Coruña, but would spend three of his six seasons in Galicia on loan, backing up Jacques Songo'o (1996–98) and José Francisco Molina (2001–02) when he was part of the team.

In the 1999–2000 season, as he represented CP Mérida in the Spanish second division, Nuno won the Ricardo Zamora Trophy and helped the side finish sixth, but it would be relegated to the third level due to irregularities.

F.C. Porto paid €3 million to bring Nuno back from Spain in July 2002, as part of Jorge Andrade's deal. During a 2003 Portuguese Cup match against Varzim SC, he was allowed by manager José Mourinho to convert a penalty kick, scoring the club's last goal in a 7–0 home routing. On 12 December 2004, he replaced club great Vítor Baía during extra time of the Intercontinental Cup final penalty shootout victory against Once Caldas; however, in January, he was sold to Russian Premier League's FC Dynamo Moscow.

Again in January, in 2007, Nuno returned to Portugal, for a stint with Clube Desportivo das Aves, eventually relegated from the top flight. In July he returned to Porto, backing up Brazilian Helton during most of his spell.

Uncapped, Nuno was called to the Portuguese squad competing in UEFA Euro 2008, replacing the injured Quim. During the 2008–09 season he again played second-fiddle to Helton appearing in only four games, but was the starter throughout the domestic cup campaign, including the final win (1–0) against F.C. Paços de Ferreira.

Manager career

On 21 June 2010, Porto announced Nuno's contract would not be renewed. The 36-year-old said he would always support Porto as he left. After his retirement he rejoined former Porto manager Jesualdo Ferreira, moving to Málaga CF as a goalkeeping coach; the pair signed for Panathinaikos FC in November 2010.

In May 2012, top-divisioner Rio Ave F.C. sacked manager Carlos Brito and announced the appointment of Nuno. In his second season in charge, he qualified the team to both the Portuguese and Portuguese League Cup finals.
