Fernando Recio Comí (Chinese: 列斯奧; born 17 December 1982) is a former professional footballer who played as a centre-back. He is currently assistant coach of Hong Kong Premier League club Kitchee.

Born in Spain, he spent most of his professional career with Kitchee in Hong Kong after signing in 2010, eventually going on to represent the Hong Kong national team.

Club career

Kitchee

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Recio only played amateur football in his country, representing Rapitenca, Amposta and Tortosa.[2] In June 2010 he was signed by Kitchee in Hong Kong, reuniting with his former teammate – at the first two teams – Ubay Luzardo (also a stopper); the club's manager, compatriot Josep Gombau, had tried to acquire the player in the previous transfer window, but failed.[3]

On 17 October 2013, general manager Ken Ng announced that Recio had renewed his contract until 2016. On 29 May of the following year, he won the Hong Kong Footballer of the Year Award for the 2013–14 season, receiving a HK$35,000 prize.[4]

Following victory in the 2018–19 Hong Kong FA Cup, Recio left Kitchee.[5]

Lee Man

On 19 July 2019, Recio signed for fellow Hong Kong Premier League side Lee Man.[6] In May 2024, the 41-year-old retired.[7]

International career

Recio received his Hong Kong passport in October 2017 at the age of 34, alongside fellow Spaniards Dani Cancela and Jordi Tarrés.[8] He made his debut for the national team on 5 October that year, in a 4–0 friendly win over Laos.[9]
