Eurico Monteiro Gomes (born 29 September 1955), known simply as Eurico in his playing days, is a former Portuguese professional footballer who played as a central defender, and a current manager.
The first player to have represented the Big Three in his country, he amassed Primeira Liga totals of 313 games and seven goals over the course of 14 seasons, winning 12 major titles. He subsequently embarked on a lengthy managerial career.
Eurico played nearly 40 times with the Portugal national team, appearing with it at Euro 1984.
Born in Santa Marta de Penaguião, Vila Real District, Eurico made his professional debuts with S.L. Benfica at the age of 19, being regularly used in four Primeira Liga seasons and winning back-to-back national championships with the club (he also reached two domestic cup finals). In 1979 he switched to Lisbon rivals Sporting Clube de Portugal, only missing one league game during his three-year spell and winning a total of three titles, including the double in 1981–82.
Aged 27, Eurico signed with another team from the country's Big Three, FC Porto, again rarely missing one match until suffering a severe injury early into the 1985–86 campaign. He started in the final of the 1983–84 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, a 1–2 loss against Juventus F.C. in Basel.
