Paulo Jorge Rebelo Duarte (born 6 April 1969) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a central defender, and the current coach of Burkina Faso.
During a 17-year senior career, he amassed Primeira Liga totals of 238 games and eight goals over the course of 12 seasons, representing mainly União de Leiria. In 2006, he became a manager, also working with the club.
Duarte was born in Massarelos, Porto District. After playing youth football for local Boavista F.C. and starting out as a senior at C.F. União de Coimbra, he signed for U.D. Leiria in 1988, also in the second division.
Duarte then played two seasons apiece for S.C. Salgueiros and C.S. Marítimo, making his Primeira Liga debuts with the former and appearing in a total of 84 league games the two teams combined. Subsequently, he returned to Leiria who now competed in the Portuguese top flight, retiring after almost one decade at the age of 34 and acting as first-choice in four of those campaigns (in 2001–02, as the club qualified for the UEFA Intertoto Cup, he was managed by young José Mourinho).
After his retirement, Duarte immediately began his managerial career, staying with his last club Leiria as assistant. In the tenth round of 2006–07's top division he was named coach of the first team, eventually helping them finish seventh.
