Rui Miguel Garcia Lopes de Almeida (born 29 September 1969) is a Portuguese professional football manager.

After working as an assistant to Jesualdo Ferreira, he worked mainly in France, with BastiainLigue 1 and four clubs in Ligue 2, as well as a brief spell in his country's Primeira Liga with Gil Vicente.

Managerial career[edit]

Almeida spent his early managerial career as an assistant at Estoril and Trofense. His first stint as a professional manager was with the Syria under-23 team in an attempt for qualification to the 2012 Summer Olympics.[2] A polyglot (speaking Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, English and French), he left Syria to become assistant manager to Jesualdo FerreiraatPanathinaikos, Sporting, Braga and Zamalek before managing again with Red StarinLigue 2 in June 2015.[3] He was dismissed in December 2016 when the club was in 16th, and had been eliminated from the Coupe de Francebyfifth-tier Blagnac.[4]

Almeida then joined BastiainLigue 1 in February 2017, on a two-and-a-half-year contract; the Corsican team was five points within the relegation zone.[5] He left in June, as the team faced a financial crisis after their descent.[6]

On 30 May 2018, Almeida was announced as the manager of Troyes in Ligue 2, on a two-year deal.[7] He led the team to third, one point off promotion, in his only season and was then linked to English club West Bromwich Albion, though no official approach was ever made.[8]

In July 2019, Almeida was appointed manager of Caen, newly relegated to Ligue 2. He signed a two-year deal with the option of a third, and compensation was paid for his remaining year contracted to Troyes.[9] After a poor start to the season, he was removed from his duties on 28 September.[10]

Almeida was given his first outright job in his own country at the end of May 2020, when he was chosen to succeed Vítor OliveiraatGil Vicente in the Primeira Liga.[11] He lost his job on 10 November, having won once in seven games and lost the last four.[12]

On 4 September 2022, Almeida returned to the French second tier, taking over at Niort ahead of the seventh game of the season, on a one-year contract with a second as an option.[13] He left the bottom-placed team by mutual accord the following 1 February after recording 4 wins, 5 draws and 9 defeats, including his last three games.[14]

On 14 October 2023, Almeida was appointed manager of Algerian club JS Kabylie.[15] He lost his job on 25 January 2024.
