Coaching career edit

Early career edit

Born in Lourenço Marques in the last months of the Portuguese Mozambique, Moreira started his career at Grupo Sportivo de Carcavelos, managing their under-13 and under-19 squad. He was later in charge of the youth sides of Oeiras, Olivais e Moscavide and Farense before becoming a youth coordinator at the Algarve Football Association in 2006.[citation needed]

In 2009, Moreira joined the structure of Sporting CP, and was in charge of the club's under-11 side. In 2012, he became Paulo Fonseca's assistant at Paços de Ferreira, later following him to Porto, Braga, Shakhtar Donetsk, and Roma, spanning nine years of service;[1] the association ended when Moreira did not follow Fonseca to Ligue 1 side Lille.[2]

Torreense edit

On 22 September 2022, Moreira was named in his first managerial job, at Liga Portugal 2 side, Torreense, replacing Nuno Manta Santos at the 18th-placed team.[3] His debut nine days later was a 3–1 loss at Belenenses in the Taça de Portugal second round.[4]

Moreira's first Liga Portugal 2 game was a 1–0 home win over Estrela da Amadora on 8 October 2022.[5] After a 9th-placed finish, he left on 29 May 2023 as he opted to not renew his contract.[6]

Casa Pia edit

On 21 November 2023, following the resignation of Filipe Martins, Moreira was appointed manager of Casa Pia, which sat in fifteenth place in the Primeira Liga table, signing a contract of an undisclosed length.[7] On 15 February 2024, after 3 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in 11 matches under Moreira, Casa Pia, sitting 16th in the league table, announced that he had been sacked.[8][9]
