Márcio Nuno Ornelas Abreu (born 25 April 1980 in Funchal, Madeira) is a Portuguese retired professional footballer who played as a winger.

Football career

After arriving in 1989 at hometown's C.S. Marítimo, and going on to represent its every youth sides, Abreu never settled in its first team, constantly boucing between the main squad and the reserves. In 2004 he was released and joined Madeira neighbours A.D. Camacha in the third division, the same as Marítimo B.

Abreu signed in the 2007 summer with Bulgarian club PSFC Chernomorets Burgas, being regularly used during his three 1/2-season spell. In February 2011 he was transferred to Russia's FC Krasnodar, freshly promoted to the Premier League.

On 6 February 2011 Abreu participated in his first game for his new team, playing the first 72 minutes in the 2–2 friendly draw with Ukraine's SC Tavriya Simferopol. His first official appearance came exactly one month later, against FC Amkar Perm for the season's Russian Cup (120 minutes played, 1–0 win); his league debut occurred six days later, in a 0–0 draw at FC Anzhi Makhachkala.

On 10 June 2011 Abreu scored his first goal for Krasnodar, in a 3–1 away success against FC Rostov. He left at the end of the 2013–14 campaign,[1] signing with fellow league club FC Torpedo Moscow shortly after[2] but retiring from the game shortly after for family reasons.[3]
