Álvaro Monteiro Magalhães (born 3 January 1961), known simply as Álvaro, is a former Portuguese footballer who played as a left back, and the current manager of Gil Vicente FC.
He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 224 games and six goals over the course of 11 seasons, mainly with Benfica with which he spent nine years, winning ten major titles.
Álvaro represented Portugal at the 1986 World Cup and Euro 1984.
Born in Lamego, Álvaro made his Primeira Liga debuts in 1980 with Académica de Coimbra, moving subsequently to S.L. Benfica. After two seasons he became first-choice, helping the Lisbon club to four leagues and as many domestic cups (three consecutive in the latter competition) while amassing more than 200 official appearances.
In June 1990, after only 13 games in his last two seasons combined – Benfica also appeared in two European Cup finals during that timeframe, but he was only a fringe player – Álvaro left and signed with neighbous C.F. Estrela da Amadora, helping the team to the second round of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup; however, the league ended in relegation. He closed out his career at the age of 32 in the second division, with Leixões SC.
