Jaime Moreira Pacheco born in Paredes,Portugal on 22 July,1958 commonly known just by Jaime Pacheco is a football manager and former Portuguese international football player. Pacheco was a defensive midfielder who began to establish his reputation at the beginning of the 1980s. He played for FC Porto until 1983/84, but moved to Sporting in 1984/85 due to the signing of the young Paulo Futre from Sporting to FC Porto. He went on to play for Vitória Setúbal, Paços de Ferreira and other minor teams, before ending his career in 1995.

Pacheco made his debut for the Portuguese national team on 23 February 1983, in a 1-0 win over West Germany in a friendly match. He had 25 caps for the national team, 11 for FC Porto, 13 for Sporting and 1 for Vitória Setúbal. He was a leading player for the national team that qualified for the 1984 European Football Championship and the 1986 World Cup. After a four year absence, he made a brief and final return to the national team on 12 September 1990, in a 0-0 Euro 1992 qualification tie with Finland.

As a football manager, Pacheco was responsible for Boavista's greatest ever success, winning their first SuperLiga title in 2000/2001 and reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup in 2002/2003. He coached RCD Mallorca briefly during 2003 and returned to Boavista to replace sacked coach Erwin Sanchez in 2004. Following a poor run of results, Pacheco stood down as coach of Boavista in April, 2005. He was contracted by Vitória Guimarães but resigned as coach in December, 2005.
