Rui Filipe da Cunha Faria (born June 14, 1975 in Balugães , Barcelos ), better known as Rui Faria , is a Portuguese football coach, best known for his collaboration with José Mourinho , with whom he works as a fitness and conditioning coach at Manchester United .
Career
childhood and education
Faria was born in Balugães , a small community in the Barcelos district in Portugal. Like Mourinho, he studied sports science and never played football professionally. During his studies, he was given the opportunity to do a seminar paper during training at Camp Nou , the stadium of FC Barcelona , where Mourinho worked as Louis van Gaal's assistant coach . Mourinho saw a kindred spirit in Faria and when he started his coaching job at União Leiria in April 2001 , he hired Faria as a fitness trainer.
Coaching career
Faria's early years in Leiria, symbolic of Mourinho's new fitness concept, led to a dead end with those responsible for the club. Since then, the two have been inseparable, together they went to FC Porto in January 2002, where Mourinho was in charge of the new club. Faria was part of the team that won the league, national cup and UEFA Cup in 2003 , and the 2004 UEFA Champions League with Porto. He followed Mourinho to Chelsea the following summer , along with assistant coach Baltemar Brito , player scout André Villas-Boas and goalkeeping coach Silvino Louro . He became ubiquitous in the Chelsea tracksuit on the London bench.
Faria left Chelsea in 2007, followed Mourinho away from the club and started with him at Inter Milan . In June 2009 André Villas-Boas , who took up a position as head coach himself, was replaced by José Morais . After winning Serie A in their first season, they completed their collection with the triple from Liga, Coppa Italia and UEFA Champions League 2010. Faria has been Real Madrid's fitness trainer since the 2010/11 season, changing clubs with Mourinho, Morais and Louro. Working with Mourinho, he and his coaching team haven't lost a league home game for eight years since 2002. The run ended in a 1-0 loss to Sporting Gijón . In addition, Rui Faria has often been expelled from the bench since then for massively criticizing the referees. For this he was nicknamed the “lost angel” in football. He has worked with Mourinho at Manchester United since 2016.

Rui Faria is married and has three daughters.

Controversy
Together with his head coach and colleague Mourinho, Faria has become an object of discussion in the media. In the 2006 game against Reading FC , in which Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Čech sustained a serious head injury, Faria was sent off alongside Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel . In the 2005 Champions League quarter-finals against FC Bayern Munich , for which Mourinho had been banned, Faria wore a woolen hat and was seen repeatedly reaching for his ear under it, which suggested that Mourinho was secretly communicating with his fitness trainer. Real Madrid alleged Faria was involved in an argument with Sporting Gijón coach Manuel Preciado following the two clubs' game in November 2010.
