Fabrício Bento da Silva (born 1 May 1975), known as Fabrício Bento or just Fabrício, is a Brazilian professional football coach and former player who played as a central defender. He is the current head coach of Portuguesa's under-20 team.

Playing career

Born in São Paulo, Fabrício began his career with hometown side Portuguesa. In 2002, after loans at São José-SP, Avaí and Mogi Mirim, he moved abroad with Beitar Jerusalem in Israel.

Fabrício returned to his home country in 2003, with Corinthians Alagoano, but returned to Israel in the following year after signing for Maccabi Ahi Nazareth. He then represented Anapolina for a short period before returning to Beitar Jerusalem.

After a short period back at Anapolina, Fabrício subsequently played for Juventus-SP before joining Série A side Juventude in April 2006.[1] Initially a starter, he lost his starting spot and moved to Avaí in June 2007.[2]

On 5 February 2009, Fabrício was presented at Catanduvense.[3] He signed for Sendas in the following year, and retired in 2011 at the age of 35.

Coaching career

Shortly after retiring, Fabrício was appointed head coach of Esporte Clube Biguaçu [pt],[4] and won the third division of the Campeonato Catarinense. In 2013, after a period working as an assistant coach at Operário Ferroviário, he returned to Avaí and was named head coach of the under-15 squad.[5]

Fabrício worked as coach of the under-17 and under-20 squads, before being named interim head coach of the main squad on 7 February 2022, after the departure of Claudinei Oliveira.[6]

Fabrício was an interim of Avaí on two further occasions, before leaving the club at the end of the 2023 season. On 2 July 2024, he returned to his first club Portuguesa after being named head coach of the under-20 team.[7]
