Timeline
Manuel José Tavares Fernandes (born 5 June 1951) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a striker, and a coach.
One of the country's most prolific goalscorers, his playing career was mainly associated with Sporting, which he later also coached.
At 386 goals in all official competitions, he is the second-highest goalscorer in the club's history.
Over 19 seasons, in which he also represented two other clubs, Fernandes amassed Primeira Liga totals of 485 matches and 241 goals.
In 1975 he got his first break, joining Primeira Liga (the only tier he competed in in a career which spanned almost two decades) club Sporting Clube de Portugal, netting more than 250 times in official matches and only trailing legendary Fernando Peyroteo who totalled over 500.
In the 1985–86 season, aged 34-35, Fernandes produced his best individual season, scoring 30 goals – and winning the Bola de Prata – for the eventual third-placed side, behind FC Porto and S.L. Benfica.
Even though he had that stellar campaign with Sporting in 1985–86, he was excluded from the squad for the 1986 FIFA World Cup, which was marred by the Saltillo Affair.
Fernandes' son Tiago was also a footballer and is a manager.
On 14 December 1986 he had arguably his finest moment as a professional, when he netted four to help to the 7–1 home demolition of Benfica.
After that season in Lisbon, Fernandes closed out his career with Vitória de Setúbal – reuniting with former Sporting teammate Rui Jordão – adding a further 16 league goals to his tally and retiring at 37.
During his last campaign he notably scored against Sporting in a 2–1 home win, mere minutes after kick-off, and the Sadinos finished in a comfortable seventh place.
Fernandes began his coaching career with Setúbal in 1988, and stayed with them a further year (several other spells there would befall in the future).
Then, he went on to manage several teams: C.F. Estrela da Amadora, A.D. Ovarense, S.C. Campomaiorense, F.C. Tirsense, C.D. Santa Clara,the Azores club would be the first from the region to play in the Portuguese top level.
Penafiel F C and ASA (Atletico Clube Aviacao - Angola).
With Sporting, Fernandes had already served as an assistant to England's Bobby Robson, leaving the Estádio José Alvalade after the head coach was sacked.
In 2001 he had a short managerial spell with the Lions, winning the domestic Supercup before quitting his post later in the year.
In October 2009, after a successful promotion from the second division with U.D. Leiria, and having already started the following top flight campaign, Fernandes bought out his contract and returned to struggling Setúbal for a third stint, which ended on 1 March 2011.
Fernandes won 31 caps for Portugal, scoring seven goals.
In December 2020, Sporting dedicated Gate 7 of the Estádio José Alvalade to Fernandes.
Born in Sarilhos Pequenos, Moita, Setúbal District, Fernandes started his career with local Grupo Desportivo da CUF, scoring 38 goals in five years.
