Ricardo Alves Resende (born 7 September 1984) is a Brazilian football coach. At youth level, he won two Copa do Brasil titles with Atlético Mineiro, as well as finishing runner-up with Cruzeiro and Botafogo and winning a Copa Rio with Fluminense.

In senior football, Resende was caretaker manager at Cruzeiro in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A in 2019, and at Botafogo in Campeonato Brasileiro Série B in 2021.

Career

As a youth, Resende played futsal for Atlético Mineiro and then football for América Mineiro and smaller teams. He studied coaching courses and was put in charge of Atlético Mineiro's under-13 team in 2007. He won the Copa do Brasil twice at youth level with the Galo: the under-17 edition in 2014 and the under-20 version in 2017.[1]

Resende was under-20 manager at Cruzeiro in August 2019 when Mano Menezes resigned, and was named caretaker manager.[2] In his one game on 11 August, his team drew 2–2 away to Avaí in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. The result was sealed with an added-time goal by Sassá that was given by the video assistant referee; Resende had chosen the goalscorer in place of the suspended Fred.[3] In the same year, he took the under-20 team to a cup final, which they lost on penalties to Palmeiras after a 5–5 aggregate draw. He remained an assistant to Abel Braga in the first team.[1]

In October 2020, Resende moved to Botafogo again as under-20 manager. In his fourth national cup final, he again lost on penalties, this time to Coritiba in June 2021.[4] The following month, he was caretaker manager for two games in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, losing both.[5][6] He left his under-20 job in July 2022, having reached the semi-finals of the state league and being in 8th of 10 teams in the national league after four games.[7]

Remaining in Rio de Janeiro, Resende was manager of Fluminense under-20 in 2023. He won the Copa Rio in the age group before leaving in November 2023 due to a job offer elsewhere.[8]

In January 2024, Resende moved to Helsingør of the Danish 1st Division as analyst, having known their head coach Álvaro Santos from childhood.[9] He was one of 12 employees, including Santos, to leave following relegation in June.[10]
