Rui Pedro Alves Gomes (born 15 March 1970) is a Portuguese football coach. He spent most of his career with youth teams, and as an assistant to Pedro Emanuel mainly in the Middle East. In 2012–13, he led Porto B in the second division.

Career

Born in Porto, Gomes began coaching in the youth ranks of Leixões S.C. before joining FC Porto in 2005. He won national titles for the under-17 team in 2008–09 and the under-19 team in 2010–11.[1]

On 6 June 2012, he was announced as manager of FC Porto B, as reserve teams were permitted to join the second division.[2] The team's debut on 12 August was a 2–2 draw away to C.D. Tondela,[3] and the season ended on 18 May with a goalless game at Associação Naval 1º de Maio to finish 14th.[4]

After his season at Porto B, Gomes became academy director at Al-Ahli Saudi FC.[5] In March 2017, Gomes arrived at G.D. Estoril Praia as assistant to former Porto player Pedro Emanuel.[6] A year later, he headed back to Saudi Arabia to assist the same manager at Al Taawoun FC.[5] The pair returned to the Iberian Peninsula in August 2019 at UD Almería in the Spanish Segunda División.[7]

Pedro Emanuel and Gomes then went back to the Middle East, resuming their partnership at Al Ain FC in the UAE Pro League,[8] followed by the Saudi trio of Al-Nassr FC, Al-Khaleej FC and Al-Fayha Club.[9]
