José Ricardo Soares Ribeiro (born 11 November 1974), known as Soares, is a Portuguese former footballer who played as a winger, and the current manager of C.D. Aves.
Born in Felgueiras, Soares' professional input as a player consisted of seven Segunda Liga games for his hometown club FC Felgueiras, over the course of three seasons in as many spells. He amassed third division totals of 224 matches and 26 goals during his 12-year senior career, representing seven clubs in the competition.
Soares started working as a manager in 2005 at the age of 30, with amateur side Clube Caçadores das Taipas. Having signed with F.C. Vizela in the summer of 2014, he achieved promotion to the second level at the end of the 2015–16 campaign.
On 18 December 2016, Soares was appointed at Primeira Liga team G.D. Chaves, replacing S.C. Braga-bound Jorge Simão. His first game took place four days later, a 1–0 home win against G.D. Estoril Praia.
