José Vítor dos Santos Peseiro (born 4 April 1960) is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a forward, and the current manager of S.C. Braga.

After an unassuming career as a player, he went on to coach several clubs in his country, including Sporting – which he took to the 2005 UEFA Cup Final[1]– and Porto. He also worked extensively in Arab nations, being in charge of the Saudi Arabian national team.

Playing career

Born in Coruche, Santarém District, Peseiro never played in higher than the Segunda Liga as a professional, starting out at Sport Lisboa e Cartaxo in 1979. In that competition, he represented Amora FC, Clube Oriental de Lisboa, Grupo Desportivo Samora Correia and S.C.U. Torreense, for a total of five seasons.

34-year-old Peseiro retired at the end of the 1993–94 season in the fourth division, with local club União de Santarém.

Managerial career

Beginnings

Peseiro spent his first eight years as a manager in the third and fourth levels of Portuguese football, starting out as a player-coach at his last team. In the 1999 summer he was appointed at C.D. Nacional, which he helped promote to the Primeira Liga in just three seasons;[2] in 2002–03, he led the team to a final 11th position.

In 2003–04, Peseiro assisted Carlos Queiroz at Real Madrid.[3] At the end of the campaign, after the team lost a considerable advantage on the table to be finally surpassed by Valencia CF, FC Barcelona and Deportivo de La Coruña, the pair was sacked,[4] and the latter returned to his assistant position in Manchester United.

Sporting

Peseiro signed with Sporting Clube de Portugal for 2004–05. After collecting three losses and two draws in his first nine games in charge, the side eventually finished in third place with 61 points, four behind champions S.L. Benfica;[5] additionally, he coached the team to a runner-up run in the UEFA Cup after disposing of the likes of Feyenoord, Middlesbrough and Newcastle United. The final was played at the Estádio José Alvalade, and after a 1–0 lead at half-time the hosts eventually succumbed to PFC CSKA Moscow 3–1.[1]

At the start of the 2005–06 season, the Lions were ousted from the UEFA Champions League by Udinese Calcio,[6] and after being relegated to the UEFA Cup they were immediately knocked out by Halmstads BK 4–4 on aggregate after a 2–3 home loss;[7][8] on 16 October 2005, following a 0–1 home defeat to Académica de Coimbra that saw Sporting sink to the seventh position, he resigned.

Eastern Europe / Saudi Arabia

In the 2007 off-season, Peseiro was named manager of Panathinaikos FC.[9] After failing to win the Superleague Greece and also losing 0–4 to neighbouring Olympiakos F.C. in the domestic cup, he was forced to step down.

In June 2008, Peseiro signed a three-year contract with Romanian club FC Rapid Bucureşti. On 2 October, after being eliminated from the UEFA Cup by VfL Wolfsburg, he was sacked[10] only to be reinstated a few days later;[11] he eventually resigned on 12 January 2009, after failing to agree on a new deal.[12]

Peseiro succeeded Nasser Al-Johar at the helm of the Saudi Arabian national team in 2009, during the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign. His first game occurred on 28 March, and it ended with a 2–1 away win over Iran which was the former's first ever victory in that country and the latter's first loss in nearly 40 home games; eventually, the nation failed to reach the finals in South Africa, and on 10 January 2011 he was relieved of his duties after losing the first game in the AFC Asian Cup against Syria.[13]

Braga

In the summer of 2012, Peseiro was appointed at S.C. Braga.[14] His first major signing was Portuguese international Rúben Micael,[15] and he qualified the club to the group stage of the Champions League for the second time in its history, after ousting Udinese on penalties.[16][17]

At the end of the campaign, in spite of winning the Taça da Liga and ranking fourth in the league, Braga and Peseiro reached an agreement to terminate the manager's contract.[18]

Al-Wahda / Al-Ahly

From 11 November 2013 to 11 January 2015, Peseiro worked with Al-Wahda F.C. in the UAE Arabian Gulf League. On 9 October of the latter year, Al Ahly SC announced his signing. Upon hearing the news, fans of the latter protested against the decision based on his weak résumé.[19][20]

Porto / Braga return

On 18 January 2016, after cutting ties with the Egyptian side, Peseiro replaced Julen Lopetegui at FC Porto.[21] Even though the third position the team occupied at the time of the Spaniard's sacking was still secured, he collected more losses than his predecessor,[22] and also lost the final of the Taça de Portugal to former team Braga, on penalties.[23]

On 6 June 2016, Peseiro signed a two-year deal with precisely Braga.[24]
