Ricardo Jorge Rodrigues Pessoa (born 5 February 1982) is a Portuguese former footballer who played as a right-back, currently manager of Liga Portugal 2 club Portimonense.
[4] Born in Vendas Novas, Évora District, Pessoa started his professional career with Vitória de Setúbal, being sparingly used during his four-year spell with the Sado River club.
In the summer of 2005, Pessoa returned to the second division and signed for Portimonense SC, being an undisputed starter from the beginnings and also eventually gaining captaincy.
In the 2009–10 campaign, he scored six goals[5][6][7][8][9][10]– whilst taking part in all 30 league matches – as the Algarve team returned to the top flight after 20 years.
[16] Pessoa retired at the end of the 2017–18 season, having featured sparingly as Portimonense retained their league status due to injury.
