Fernando Rui Valadares Pinto Sampaio (born 29 May 1987) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for C.D. Cova da Piedade as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Born in Vila Pouca de Aguiar, Vila Real District, Sampaio spent his first four seasons as a senior in the Segunda Liga, appearing in the competition for G.D. Chaves, F.C. Penafiel and S.C. Beira-Mar. In 2009–10, he scored a career-best six goals for the latter club to help it return to the Primeira Liga after a three-year absence.

Sampaio made his debut in the Portuguese top division on 15 August 2010, coming on as 29th-minute substitute in a 0–0 home draw against U.D. Leiria.[1] He went on to start in 28 of his appearances, helping his team retain their recently acquired status.

On 31 August 2011, Sampaio signed with Serie A side Cagliari Calcio for €600,000.[2][3] He played in only seven competitive matches during his stint in Italy (one goal, in the Coppa Italia[4]), being consecutively loaned to S.C. Olhanense[5] and Beira-Mar[6] and being released in January 2014, following which he agreed to a permanent one-and-a-half-year contract at F.C. Arouca also in his country's top level.[7]

In the summer of 2015, Bastos joined French Ligue 2 team Red Star F.C. alongside compatriot Vítor Bastos.[8] He was sparingly played at the Stade Jean-Bouin, and from January 2017 onwards he resumed his career in the Portuguese second tier, where he represented S.C. Freamunde[9] and C.D. Cova da Piedade.[10]
