Silvino de Almeida Louro (born 5 March 1959), known simply as Silvino in his playing days, is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and a current first-team coach at Manchester United.
Having ended his professional career in his 40s – playing in 21 Primeira Liga seasons and totalling 408 appearances – he went on to have another extensive spell as a goalkeeper coach, under José Mourinho.
Born in Setúbal, Silvino started his professional career with hometown's Vitória de Setúbal in 1977, moving to Vitória S.C. after five years at the club.
He was signed by S.L. Benfica for 1984–85, but did not appear once in that year's Primeira Liga, barred by legendary Manuel Bento. After a loan to newly promoted C.D. Aves in the following campaign Silvino returned, going on to have an interesting battle for first-choice status with Neno for several seasons and helping the team win four league titles.
He played in the European Cup finals in 1988 and 1990, having captained the side in the latter. Leaving Benfica in 1994 Silvino rejoined Vitória Setúbal, then moved to FC Porto for the 1995–96 season: despite not having to face Vítor Baía in his second year (after his departure to FC Barcelona) he appeared very rarely in his stint, and closed out his career at northern neighbours S.C. Salgueiros, retiring in June 2000 after three years.
