*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Vítor Manuel de Oliveira Lopes Pereira (born 26 July 1968) is a Portuguese football manager and former player who played as a midfielder. He is the head coach of Saudi Pro League club Al Shabab.

Following an amateur playing career, he became manager of Porto, where he won the Primeira Liga in both of his seasons. After leaving in 2013 he worked in several countries, winning a Greek league and cup double with Olympiacos in 2015 and the Chinese Super League with Shanghai SIPG in 2018.

Football career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Born in Espinho, Pereira only played amateur football, and retired at the age of 28.[2] He started managing at junior level, and his first head coach experience arrived midway through the 2004–05 season, when he was appointed at A.D. Sanjoanense in the third division.[3]

Subsequently, Pereira worked with S.C. Espinho of the same league,[4] being fired with ten games left in his second campaign and returning to FC Porto's juniors for a further season.[5] In 2008 he returned to head coaching again, with C.D. Santa Clara in the Segunda Liga, leading the Azores side to the third position in his first year and the fourth in the second, on both occasions narrowly missing out on Primeira Liga promotion.[6][7][8]

Porto

[edit]

In the summer of 2010, Pereira left Santa Clara to become assistant manager to André Villas-Boas at Porto.[9] On 21 June 2011, following the head coach's departure to Chelsea, he was promoted to first-team manager,[10] winning his first official match – and title – 2–1 against Vitória de Guimarães in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.[11]

Despite a less than stellar performance both in Europe – being knocked out of the UEFA Champions League in the group stage[12] and in the UEFA Europa League's round of 32[13]– and in the Taça de Portugal,[14] Pereira led the club to the league title in his first season in charge.[15] In March 2013, following the team's elimination from Champions League contention (2–1 on aggregate against Málaga CF), he came under heavy criticism, notably due to his decision of benching James Rodríguez during the first half of both legs. The Colombian stated his disappointment in the coach's decision, but said that he respected him and trusted his reasons, adding that the situation was possibly created because of his questionable fitness, even though he claimed to be 100% fit.[16][17][18]

In early May 2013, as Porto ranked second in the league, Pereira deemed the Portuguese league as a "dirty competition".[19] Only a few days later, after his team defeated S.L. Benfica at home to surpass its opponents – eventually winning the league title, conceding six draws in 30 games[20]– he considered it to be a "highly competitive and prestigious league".[21]

Five clubs in eight years

[edit]

In late May 2013, Pereira was interviewed for the vacant job at Premier League club Everton,[22] but eventually signed a two-year deal with Al Ahli Saudi FC of the Saudi Professional League. On 7 January 2015 he moved countries again, replacing the fired Míchel at the helm of Olympiacos F.C.[23] and eventually winning the double.[24]

On 10 June 2015, Olympiacos announced a mutual contract termination with Pereira.[25] The following day, he was appointed at Fenerbahçe S.K. for two years.[26]

The Turkish side cut ties unilaterally with Pereira on 15 August 2016, with the case being subsequently taken to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.[27][28] On 18 December he was named head coach of TSV 1860 Munich in the German 2. Bundesliga, with the one-and-a-half-year deal being made effective the following 1 January.[29] The team finished the season third from bottom, and eventually got relegated on 30 May 2017 after a 3–1 loss aggregate loss to SSV Jahn Regensburg in the play-offs.[30]

Pereira became the manager of Shanghai SIPG F.C. on 12 December 2017, replacing Villas-Boas at the Chinese Super League club.[31] In his debut campaign, he guided them to their first-ever title in the competition.[32] In December 2019 he turned down a new approach from Everton[33] and, one year later, left Shanghai.[34]

Pereira returned to Fenerbahçe on 2 July 2021, on a two-year contract.[35] He was sacked on 20 December after a 2–2 home draw with Istanbul rivals Beşiktaş JK; his side were in fifth position and 14 points behind leaders Trabzonspor.[36] A month later, he was again linked with Everton as owner Farhad Moshiri's lead candidate, prompting anger and vandalism from fans who saw him as inadequate and wanted eventual appointee Frank Lampard instead; he defended his reputation in an interview on Sky Sports News.[37]

Corinthians

[edit]
Pereira with Corinthians in 2022

On 23 February 2022, Pereira was announced as head coach of Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, signing until the end of the year.[38] He lost to an opening-minute goal away to rivals São Paulo FC on his Campeonato Paulista debut a week later,[39] and the state championship ended with a 2–1 semi-final loss to the same opponents.[40]

In October 2022, Pereira's team lost the final of the Copa do Brasil on penalties to CR Flamengo.[41] Just hours after the last match of the season on 13 November, it was announced that he would not renew his contract.[42] He said in a social media post that he had to return home due to his mother-in-law's health.[43][44]

Flamengo

[edit]

Shortly after leaving Corinthians, Pereira was appointed at Flamengo also of the Brazilian top flight.[45] On 28 January 2023, his team lost the Supercopa do Brasil 4–3 to Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras.[46] His second defeat took place on 7 February, 3–2 against Al Hilal SFC in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup after playing the entire second half with one player less.[47] Later that month, they were beaten on penalties by Ecuador's C.S.D. Independiente del Valle in the Recopa Sudamericana (1–1 over two legs).[48]

Pereira was dismissed on 11 April 2023, two days after losing 4–3 on aggregate to rivals Fluminense FC in the Campeonato Carioca.[49]

Al Shabab

[edit]

Pereira went back to the Saudi main division on 4 February 2024, replacing the fired Igor Bišćan at Al Shabab FC on at a deal until the end of the season.[50]
