Bruno José Palminha Saraiva (born 1 October 1974) is a Portuguese former footballer who played as a central defender, currently the manager of Louletano.
Playing career
[edit]Born in Huambo, Angola to Portuguese parents, Saraiva competed almost exclusively in the Portuguese third division in a ten-year senior career. He started out at S.C. Olhanense, retiring at the age of 29 after a spell with C.D. Olivais e Moscavide.[1]
Saraiva's professional input consisted of the 2000–01 season, starting in 21 of his appearances for F.C. Marco and suffering relegation from the Segunda Liga.
Coaching career
[edit]After retiring, Saraiva spent his first years as a manager in youth football. On 1 May 2013, after Olhanense's Manuel Cajuda resigned a few weeks before the end of the 2012–13 campaign, he took on the role of interim at the Primeira Liga club with the primary goal of avoiding relegation.[2] After a 0–0 home draw against C.S. Marítimo this was achieved,[3] and he initially committed to a new deal[4] only to leave the club shortly after and be replaced by former Portugal international Abel Xavier.[5][6]
On 7 February 2017, after three incomplete spells in the third tier, Saraiva returned to Olhanense who ranked last in division two,[7] eventually not being able to move the team from that place.[8]
