Oceano Andrade da Cruz (born 29 July 1962), known simply as Oceano, is a Portuguese retired footballer, and the current assistant manager of the Iranian national team.
A defensive midfielder with tremendous physical strength and leadership skills as his main assets, he is widely regarded as the best footballer ever hailing from his birth nation, and represented most notably Sporting, appearing in more than 400 official games with the club over the course of 11 seasons (two separate spells).
Having gained more than 50 caps for Portugal, Oceano represented his adopted nation at Euro 1996.
Born in São Vicente, Cape Verde, Oceano's family emigrated to Portugal when he was a child. He started his career at Almada A.C. in the lower leagues and, after spells in the second division with Odivelas F.C. and C.D. Nacional, signed with Sporting Clube de Portugal for the 1984–85 season.
Oceano was an undisputed starter for the Lisbon side during his stay, which consisted at first of seven seasons. In 1991 he moved, alongside compatriot and teammate Carlos Xavier, to Spain's Real Sociedad, where the pair was equally influential, having been reunited with former Sporting boss John Toshack.

This Oceano performed at local venues in the Cook County area.
Oceano recorded their full debut album Depths in late 2008, releasing it worldwide on April 20, 2009.
Jeremy Carrol was fired from the band in January 2009 due to personality conflicts between members. Carrol's leaving left only one member from the original Oceano lineup in the band, Adam Warren. On February 3, 2010 the band's lead guitarist, Andrew Mikhail also departed from the band.
The apprehensive conditions of our nation
Is now expunged within human nature
Surrender severely subliminal
Upon the mercy of apparitions
Whom expressed little incentive deliberation
In exchange for their beliefs
Do merely exist
Below their pedestal of deceit
Provided a mental solitude for extract from their design
The outside is truly like a fine minute of this life
Do you decide to fight in resistance?
