Filipe Alexandre Dias Anunciação (born 27 May 1979) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a midfielder, and the current assistant manager of F.C. Paços de Ferreira.

Football career

Anunciação was born in Matosinhos. During his early career he played mostly in the Portuguese second division, and represented during his career C.D. Feirense, F.C. Paços de Ferreira, C.D. Aves, Boavista F.C. and Moreirense FC.

In 2007 Anunciação returned to Paços for a second spell, going on to play several seasons in the Primeira Liga, mainly as a starter. Towards the end of his career, in the 2012–13 campaign, the 33-year-old still appeared in 17 games – four starts, 464 minutes of action – as the team finished a best-ever third and qualified to the UEFA Champions League; he was also the undisputed team captain when available.

Anunciação retired in January 2015, immediately being appointed his main club's assistant coach. He amassed top flight totals of 244 matches and six goals, over the course of 13 seasons.
