Luís Filipe Andrade de Oliveira (born 30 September 1973), known as Andrade, is a Portuguese retired professional footballer and manager. He is the manager of Saudi Arabian club Al Qadsiah (women).

A gritty player with few skills, he operated mainly as a defensive midfielder but could also play as a full-back.[2][3][4]

Playing career

Andrade was born in Lisbon. After playing his youth football at Sporting CP, he went on to represent G.D. Estoril Praia, C.F. Estrela da Amadora, C.F. Os Belenenses, S.L. Benfica (five years, with one season loaned to S.C. Braga),[5][6][1] Académica de Coimbra, C.D. Pinhalnovense, C.D. Olivais e Moscavide and Odivelas FC.[4]

Andrade also had abroad spells with CD Tenerife (Spanish Segunda División) and AEP Paphos FC (Cypriot First Division, a few months), and finished his 21-year senior career in the regional championships in 2013, with GS Loures and Odivelas again. He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 193 games and one goal over 12 seasons, and was a member of the Portugal national side that competed at the 1996 Olympic Games, helping them to reach the fourth place.[2]

Coaching career

Benfica

Andrade started working as a coach in 2010, going on to be in charge of several sides in the Lisbon Football Association.[4] On 2 July 2019, he was named manager of Benfica women's team.[7]

On 26 December 2020, Andrade left his position after only three losses during his spell, two of those being in the round of 32 of the UEFA Champions League against Chelsea.[8]

Flamengo

On 8 December 2021, Andrade signed with Brazil's Clube de Regatas do Flamengo (women) to become the first foreign head coach in the club's history.[9] In June 2023, his tenure ended following their elimination from the quarter-finals of the Campeonato Brasileiro.[10]

Al Qadsiah

In September 2023, Andrade became the head coach of Al Qadsiah FC in the Saudi Women's Premier League.[11]
