Sérgio Paulo Marceneiro da Conceição (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈsɛɾʒiu kõsɐjˈsɐ̃w̃]; born 15 November 1974) is a former Portuguese footballer who played mostly as a right winger, and the current manager of French club FC Nantes.
Known for his speed and strength, and also possessing good dribbling, crossing and fairly accurate shooting skills, he played for ten teams in five countries: after gaining international recognition with Porto he switched to Italy, where he appeared for three clubs. He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 97 games and 13 goals over the course of four seasons, adding 136/13 in Serie A.
Having won more than 50 caps for Portugal, Conceição represented the nation in one World Cup and one European Championship. In 2012, he started working as a manager.
Born in Coimbra, Conceição began his career playing for the youth teams of hometown's Associação Académica. He started professionally in the second division, consecutively for F.C. Penafiel, Leça F.C. and F.C. Felgueiras, before moving to FC Porto in 1996; two highly successful years with the latter saw his runs down the right flank, combined with a good goalscoring record, help it to back-to-back domestic championships and a Portuguese Cup triumph.
