Nuno Fernando Gonçalves da Rocha (born 21 February 1972), known as Capucho (Portuguese pronunciation: [kapusu]), is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a winger, and is the current manager of Varzim SC.
Blessed with both scoring and dribbling ability alike, he also displayed good defensive and tackling skills. His 15-year professional career was mainly associated with Porto (although he also represented Sporting), with which he won a total of 13 major titles, having appeared in 368 Primeira Liga games in 13 seasons, scoring 59 goals.
For Portugal, Capucho appeared in one World Cup and one European Championship, both in the early 2000s.
Capucho was born in Barcelos. After starting with hometown's Gil Vicente F.C. he moved to Sporting Clube de Portugal, where he would be relatively used during his three-year spell, helping the Lisbon team to the 1995 Portuguese Cup.
After two seasons with Guimarães' Vitória SC, Capucho joined FC Porto, being a major part of a side that won three Primeira Liga titles and the 2002–03 UEFA Cup (starting in the final against Celtic). His worst domestic output came precisely in that season, scoring four goals in 27 matches as the northerners won the treble.
