Bruno José Palminha Saraiva (born 1 October 1974) is a Portuguese former footballer who played as a central defender, currently the manager of Louletano.
Born in Huambo, Angola to Portuguese parents, Saraiva competed almost exclusively in the Portuguese third division in a ten-year senior career. He started at S.C. Olhanense, retiring at the age of 29 after a spell with C.D. Olivais e Moscavide.
Saraiva's professional input consisted of the 2000âÂÂ01 season, starting in 21 of his appearances for F.C. Marco and suffering relegation from the Segunda Liga.
After retiring, Saraiva spent his first years as a manager in youth football. On 1 May 2013, after Olhanense's Manuel Cajuda resigned a few weeks before the end of the 2012âÂÂ13 campaign, he took on the role of interim at the Primeira Liga club with the primary goal of avoiding relegation. After a 0âÂÂ0 home draw against C.S. MarÃÂtimo this was achieved, and he initially committed to a new deal only to leave the club shortly after and be replaced by former Portugal international Abel Xavier.
On 7 February 2017, after three incomplete spells in the third tier, Saraiva returned to Olhanense who ranked last in division two, eventually not being able to move the team from that place.
