Manuel José Tavares Fernandes (born 5 June 1951 in Sarilhos Pequenos, Moita, Setúbal) is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a striker, and a current coach.

One of the country's most prolific goalscorers, his playing career was mainly associated with Sporting, which he later also coached. At 386 goals in all official competitions, he is the second-highest goalscorer in the club's history.[1][2]

Club career

Playing

Fernandes started his career with local club Grupo Desportivo da CUF, scoring 38 times in five years. In 1975, got his first break, joining first division giants Sporting Clube de Portugal, finding the net more than 250 times in official matches, only trailing legendary Fernando Peyroteo, who scored over 500.

In 198586, at the ripe age of 34/35, Fernandes produced his best individual season, scoring 30 timeswinning the Bola de Pratafor the eventual third-placed team, behind F.C. Porto and S.L. Benfica.

On 14 December 1986, Fernandes had arguably his finest moment as a professional, when he scored four times to help to the home demolition of Benfica, 71. After that season in Lisbon, he closed out his career with Vitória de Setúbalreuniting with former Sporting teammate Rui Jordãoadding a further 16 goals to his tally, and retiring at 37. During his last campaign, he notably scored against Sporting in a 21 home win, mere minutes after kick-off, and the Sadinos finished in a comfortable 7th place.

Manager

Fernandes began his coaching career with Setúbal in 1988, and stayed with the club a further year (it would be the club with which he would have the most spells). Then, he went on to manage several clubs: C.F. Estrela da Amadora, A.D. Ovarense, S.C. Campomaiorense, F.C. Tirsense, C.D. Santa Clara, F.C. Penafiel and Atlético Sport Aviaçãothe Azores team would be the first from the region to play in the topflight.

With Sporting, Fernandes had already served as an assistant, to England's Bobby Robson, leaving the club after the head coach was sacked. In 2001, he had a short spell as head manager for the Lions,[3] winning the domestic Supercup before leaving his post later in the year.

In October 2009, after a successful second division promotion with União de Leiria, and having already started the following first division campaign, Fernandes bought out his contract and returned to struggling Setúbal, for a third stint,[4] which ended on 1 March 2011.

International career

For Portugal, Fernandes played 31 times scoring seven goals. Even though he had that stellar campaign with Sporting in 198586, he was excluded from the squad for the 1986 FIFA World Cup, which was marred by the Saltillo Affair.
