Bruno Miguel Nunes Baltazar (born 6 July 1977) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a central defender, and a current manager.

Playing career

Born in Lisbon, Baltazar started his career with local S.U. Sintrense after having already played youth football there. He then switched to Odivelas FC, representing both clubs in the third and fourth divisions and having his first adventure abroad with Dresdner SC in Germany's Regionalliga Nord.

Baltazar started the 2003–04 season still abroad, playing in the English Football Conference with Margate. He returned to his country in the following transfer window, joining C.D. Fátima in the third level, then spent a further campaign in the category with former side Odivelas.

Baltazar's only experience in the professionals came in 2005–06, as he appeared in only seven division two games for F.C. Barreirense and also suffered team relegation. He subsequently returned to the lower leagues, appearing for Imortal DC, Abrantes Futebol Clube – split the 2006–07 campaign between the two teams – and Real Sport Clube.

After another season abroad, with Digenis Akritas Morphou in the Cypriot Second Division, Baltazar returned to Portugal and joined G.D. Igreja Nova in the third tier (team relegation and folding). In January 2010 he rejoined Sintrense in the fourth category, retiring in June of the following year at the age of 34.

Managerial career

After announcing his retirement Baltazar took up coaching, starting as assistant manager at his first club. In the summer of 2012 he was promoted to head coaching duties, guiding the team to promotion to the third division.

In July 2013, Baltazar was appointed at second level side Atlético Clube de Portugal. His stay was however to be short-lived, as he was relieved of his duties after only one month.

Baltazar joined the Filipino national team coaching staff in April 2014, going on to work under Thomas Dooley.
