António Luís Alves Ribeiro de Oliveira (born 10 June 1952) is a retired Portuguese football attacking midfielder and manager.
As a player, he notably represented two of the Big Three in his country, Porto and Sporting, amassing totals of 266 games and 99 Primeira Liga goals between the two and also later managing the former with great success.
Having also represented it as a player, Oliveira had two coaching spells with the Portugal national team, leading it in one World Cup and one European Championship.
Born in Penafiel, Oliveira made his senior debuts with FC Porto, first appearing in the Primeira Liga at the age of 18. From 1974 onwards, with the exception of one year, he always scored in double digits, netting a career-best 19 in the 1977–78 season as the northerners won the national championship after a 19-year drought.
In the 1979 summer, 27-year-old Oliveira moved to La Liga with Real Betis, but returned to Porto in the following transfer window, being an important first-team element as the side finished second in the league, two points behind Sporting Clube de Portugal.
After helping hometown's F.C. Penafiel retain its top flight status – he left Porto alongside club director Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa and coach José Maria Pedroto following internal disputes– he signed with Sporting, helping the Lions to the double in 1981–82. In 1985, aged 33, Oliveira moved to C.S. Marítimo, retiring at the end of the campaign with Portuguese first division totals of 295 matches and 109 goals; at both Penafiel and Marítimo, he acted as player-coach.
