Paulo Sérgio Bento Brito (born 19 February 1968), known as Paulo Sérgio, is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a forward, and a current manager.
He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 86 games and 18 goals over the course of seven seasons, but played mainly in the lower divisions of Portugal.
Sérgio began his career as manager in 2003 and went on to be in charge of several teams, including Vitória Guimarães, Sporting and Hearts in Scotland.
Born in Estremoz, Alentejo Region, Paulo Sérgio's football career was spent mainly as a substitute, at least in the Primeira Liga. During 17 professional seasons, he represented C.D. Olivais e Moscavide, U.D. Vilafranquense, C.F. Os Belenenses – his most steady period, helping the Lisbon club finish in second position in the Segunda Liga in 1992 with a career-best eight goals, with the consequent promotion – F.C. Paços de Ferreira (his best year in the top division came whilst at this club, scoring five goals in 26 games in the 1993–94 campaign, even though 14 of those came from the bench, as the club was eventually relegated), S.C. Salgueiros, Vitória de Setúbal, C.D. Feirense, C.D. Santa Clara, G.D. Estoril Praia and S.C. Olhanense.
