Manuel Pedro Gomes (born 16 October 1941 in Torres Novas, Santarém) is a Portuguese retired football defender and manager.
Playing career
Gomes spent his entire career with Sporting Clube de Portugal, going on to appear in 516 games over the course of 13 seasons (youth, friendlies and official), eighth-best at the time of his retirement. He was a member of the team that won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1963–64.[1]
In 1970 Gomes won the second national championship of his career, the first with his active participation.[2] He retired in June 1973 at the age of 31, having gained nine caps for Portugal during six years; his debut came on 31 May 1964 in a friendly against Argentina in Rio de Janeiro (0–2 loss).
Manager career
Immediately after retiring Gomes took up coaching, a career which would last more than three decades. In the top division he was in charge of Clube Oriental de Lisboa, S.C. Farense, C.S. Marítimo, U.D. Leiria, C.F. Os Belenenses, Rio Ave F.C. and Sporting.
Precisely with his only club as a player, he served his last spell in the main category: having started the 1984–85 season as assistant to John Toshack, he took the reins of the team in the last two matches, winning one and losing another in an eventual runner-up finish, behind FC Porto.[3] Before signing with the Lisbon side he worked as C.D. Nacional manager, being responsible for the acquisition of future Sporting legend Oceano.
