José Rui Lopes Águas (born 28 April 1960) is a Portuguese retired professional footballer who played as a striker, and the current manager of Cape Verde. He had highly successful spells at two of the biggest clubs in Portugal, Benfica and Porto, amassing Primeira Liga totals of 291 games and 120 goals over the course of 12 seasons. Águas represented the Portuguese national team at the 1986 World Cup. ==Club career== Born in Lisbon, Águas started his career with local G.D. Sesimbra before turning professional in the 1983–84 season, when he signed for Portimonense S.C. in the top division from Atlético Clube de Portugal. Moving to S.L. Benfica in 1985, Águas scored an average of 12 goals in his first spell, helping the capital club to the league on three occasions. He was present at the 1988 European Cup final, as the Eagles lost on penalties to PSV Eindhoven, 5–6. In the 1988 summer Águas joined F.C. Porto, winning the league in his second year and contributing to the conquest with 17 goals. However, he returned to Benfica after only two years, and proceeded to net a career-best 25 times in the first season upon his return as the team finished in top position; in the last round against S.C. Beira-Mar, the game after the club had been crowned champions, he bagged two second-half goals in an eventual 3–0 home win, narrowly edging Porto's Domingos – who played first and scored four in a 5–0 triumph against Vitória de Guimarães, finishing with 24 – in the ''Bola de Prata'' race. In the last edition of the European Cup, Águas suffered an horrific foot injury against FC Dynamo Kyiv, but still managed five league goals in only 14 contests. Already 34, he moved clubs but stayed in the capital, joining lowly C.F. Estrela da Amadora; his career ended after an abroad spell which was his first and only at the age of 34, at Italy's A.C. Reggiana 1919. In the early 2000s Águas coached Vitória F.C. and S.C. Braga, managing six wins, three draws and nine losses for the former in the 1999–2000 campaign, which ended in top division relegation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rui Águas (footballer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
