Ricardo André de Pinho Sousa (born 11 January 1979) is a Portuguese football manager who played as an attacking midfielder, and the current manager of Lusitano FC.
He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 154 games and 47 goals over the course of seven seasons, representing in the competition Porto, Beira-Mar, Santa Clara, Belenenses and Boavista. He also competed professionally in Germany, the Netherlands, Cyprus and Slovenia.
Sousa was born in São João da Madeira. Growing up as a footballer in FC Porto, he would however play only three games for its main squad – a 0–0 Primeira Liga draw against C.D. Santa Clara and two UEFA Champions League appearances, twice as a substitute – and went on to represent S.C. Beira-Mar, where he made his top division debuts in the second part of the 1998–99 season, C.D. Santa Clara and C.F. Os Belenenses in consecutive loans; on 16 June 1999 he scored arguably the most important goal of his career, as the Aveiro team defeated S.C. Campomaiorense 1–0 to win the campaign's domestic cup.
