Rui Vítor da Silva Ferreira (born 29 March 1973) is a Portuguese football manager and former player.

A midfielder, he played 188 Primeira Liga games for Salgueiros, Vitória de Guimarães and Belenenses. He managed Feirense and Académico Viseu in the second tier.

Playing career

Born in Espinho in the Aveiro District, Ferreira played as a youth for local S.C. Espinho before moving to S.L. Benfica, but began his senior career in the lower leagues. In 1998–99, he contributed six goals to Gil Vicente F.C.'s conquest of the second tier, leading to a transfer to S.C. Salgueiros in the Primeira Liga. He made his debut in the top flight on 22 August, in a 1–0 home win over C.S. Marítimo.

In June 2002, after Salgueiros were relegated, Ferreira signed a one-year deal at Vitória de Guimarães, becoming their sixth free transfer of the summer due to the president's order. Having already been courted by the club in April 2002, Ferreira signed for C.F. Os Belenenses on an 18-month deal in January 2005.

Ferreira joined Portimonense S.C. in the second tier in August 2006. He said that he still had the quality to play in the top flight, but was unable to receive a contract due to being 33. He began 2008–09 at his hometown club Espinho, and signed for C.D. Santa Clara in January.

Managerial career

In August 2010, Ferreira was appointed at Boavista F.C. in the third tier. His debut on 22 September was a 2–2 home draw with Cesarense.

Ferreira was hired for the under-23 team of C.D. Feirense in January 2020. He started the following season in charge of FC Felgueiras 1932 but returned to Feirense on 29 March 2021 as first-team manager due to a contractual clause allowing him to leave at zero cost for a club in the professional leagues; he replaced Filó at the club from Santa Maria da Feira.
