Career edit

Born in Miranda do Corvo, Coimbra District, Carvalho was a player for lowly local sides,[1] and retired at the age of 24 at Eirense to become an assistant coach at the club.[2] In 2013, he was also an assistant at Penelense, before leaving in the following year to Paços de Ferreira, as a scout.

Carvalho worked at Nogueirense also as a scout, and became an assistant manager at Académica de Coimbra in 2015. He became a fitness coach at Famalicão in the following year, before moving abroad in 2017 to work as a fitness trainer at South Korean side Gwangju.[3]

Back to Portugal in the 2017 summer, Carvalho was an assistant at Braga's under-17 and under-19 squads, before moving to Belenenses SAD under the same role in January 2020. On 11 January 2022, he replaced Filipe Cândido at the helm of the first team,[4] signing a 18-month contract four days later.[5] On his professional debut on 13 January, the side lost 1–0 at Famalicão,[6] and finished the season relegated in last place; he then quoted the late manager Vítor Oliveira that "a new life begins a month or two from now".[7]

On 19 May 2022, Carvalho left Belenenses SAD to be Artur Jorge's assistant on a two-year deal back at Braga.[8]
