Rui Manuel Pinto dos Reis da Quinta (born 6 June 1960), known as Rui Quinta, is a Portuguese football manager and former player.
In July 2008, after several seasons working as a part of a backroom staff as well as for several lower level sides, Quinta accepted an invitation to manage Portuguese Second Division side Penafiel.[1] At the helm of the Penafidelenses, Quinta guided his side to promotion to the Segunda Liga.[2][3]
Following Penafiel's promotion to the second tier, Quinta left Penafiel for Gil Vicente.[4] His stay with the Gilistas proved to be short-lived, as eight months into the job, Quinta resigned due to a succession of poor results.[5]
On 13 June 2011, Quinta was appointed as the new manager of Varzim.[6] However, a month into his spell at Varzim, Quinta left his post to take up an assistant manager role at FC Porto alongside Vítor Pereira.[7] His spell as the number two proved to be successful one, as the Portistas claimed back-to-back league titles.
Quinta left the Dragões at the end of the 2012–13 season, following Vítor Pereira's departure from the club. After a one year absence, Quinta returned to the dug out to manage his former side Penafiel for a second spell.[8] Quinta left the Rubro-Negros in March 2015 after three consecutive losses.[9]
