Manuel José de Jesus Silva, ComM, known simply as Manuel José (Portuguese pronunciation: [mɐnuˈɛɫ ʒuˈzɛ]; born 9 April 1946 in Vila Real de Santo António), is a Portuguese football manager, who currently manages Al-Ahly. Some of the teams he has coached include Vitória de Guimarães, Sporting CP, Sporting de Braga, Boavista, Benfica, Al-Ahly, Belenenses, Angola, amongst others,[1] being the coach with most games in the Primeira Liga.[2]

He is regarded as one of the most successful club coaches in CAF competitions, having won the main African club tournament, the CAF Champions League, a record of four times and guiding his team to four consecutive CAF Champions League finals between 2005 and 2008, winning three of them. He has also won the CAF Super Cup in 2002, 2006, 2007 and 2009.

Coaching career

Portugal

Manuel José first started to manage S.C. Espinho in 1978, where he gain promotion to the 1979–80 Primeira Liga. His first notorious management spell was at Vitória de Guimarães, which he coached during 1982 and 1983, guiding them to their first UEFA Cup after a 4th place finish. The following season he moved to Portimonense and in his second season there, he took the team to their highest Primeira Liga place, 5th, qualifying them to the UEFA Cup. Moving to Sporting CP in 1985, he was sacked in his second season, after a 6-game winless spree. He is credited for discovering Luís Figo while he was working with Sporting CP, a fact that he denies.[3] Some of his most famous matches in his Sporting CP career were a 7–1 win over arch rivals Benfica, the widest win in the Derby de Lisboa, and a 9–0 away win against Íþróttabandalag Akraness, from Iceland, in the 1986–87 UEFA Cup, a record that still remains as their biggest away win in UEFA competitions.[4][5] He moved to Sporting de Braga where he couldn't manage to find the success he had found in his former teams. Again at Sporting CP in 1990, he was sacked that same year after being eliminated 1–2 in their home stadium, for the Taça de Portugal, to Marítimo. After failing promotion to the 1991–92 Primeira Liga, with his first club, Sporting de Espinho, he moved to Boavista where he won the Taça de Portugal in his first season, and the Supertaça in his second one, also managing to lead them to the Taça de Portugal final in the same year. After five seasons with Boavista, Manuel José signed with Marítimo in 1996, although he replaced Paulo Autuori as Benfica manager in the middle of the 1996–97 season and finished in 3rd place. Despite his bad results, he remained for the next season until a humiliating 3–1 defeat to Rio Ave lead Benfica's direction to sack him.[6] In 1999 he signed with União de Leiria and left mid-season on his second year, while the team was on the run for their highest ever place, to sign with Egyptian giants, Al Ahly, with the main goal being to win the Egyptian Premier League. He marked his first victory with Al-Ahly in a friendly game victory 1–0 over Real Madrid.[7] He accomplished the biggest win against the rivals Zamalek by 6–1 before he was sacked after failing to win the league that year, but won his first African Champions League and African Super Cup with a squad consisting mostly of promising young stars like Hossam Ghaly. He returned to Portugal to coach Belenenses in 2002, but left to sign again with Al Ahly the following year.

Abroad

Since returning to Al-Ahly, he has helped give the team a record-breaking unbeaten run of 55 matches.[8] He also managed to qualify them for the African Champions League Final four consecutive times, in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, winning all but the 2007 final, the first coach to achieve such a feat and bringing his tally to four CAF Champions League titles, making him the most successful manager of the competition. In addition to this, Manuel José also won the CAF Super Cup in 2006, 2007 and 2009, the Egyptian League five consecutive times, 2004–05, 2005–06, 2006–07, 2007–08 and 2008–09, the Egypt Cup in 2005–06 and 2006–07 and the Egyptian Super Cup four consecutive times, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. Arguably his best period in Al-Ahly was the 2005–06 season when José accomplished the African treble winning the Cup, the League and the Champions League. Other successes that season include the triumphs in the National Super Cup, the African Super Cup and managing to take an African team to their first ever podium in the Club World Cup. Al-Ahly only conceded three defeats throughout that season, with two of them coming in the CAF Champions League and the other in the FIFA Club World Cup, Although reports were surfacing that Manuel José would be on the brink of taking over the Portuguese national team after Luiz Felipe Scolari's departure, the Portuguese Football Federation hired instead Carlos Queiroz.[9] Manuel José was honoured by the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak with the Medal of Sport of First Class for his contributions to Ahly and Egyptian Football on December 24, 2006 and with the Ordem do Mérito in 2008, by Portuguese President Aníbal Cavaco Silva.[10] On May 13, 2009, José was officially appointed by the Angolan Football Federation (FAF) as the national team's head coach with views on their participation in the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, which Angola hosted. He penned a one-year contract and took over when he finished the season with Al-Ahly.[11] José was awarded the Globos de Ouro Best Portuguese Manager award in 2009 by SIC television network, on his fourth consecutive nomination.[12] After Angola's defeat, against Ghana, in the quarter-finals of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, he apologized the entire Angolan people for their premature elimination and left his post by mutual agreement.[13][14] On 31 May 2010 Al-Ittihad officials hired the Portuguese coach and former Angola manager as their new head coach.[15] In December 2010 José resigned after eight consecutive draws that cost Ittihad their leadership of the board, this marked the first time that José didn't complete a contract for the past 10 years.[16] On the 1st January 2011 he returned to Al Ahly signing a one and half year contract.[17] Uppon his arrival to the Cairo International Airport from Portugal, he was greeted by about 3000 Al Ahly fans.[18] Manuel José has been pointed out as a coach likely to succeed Hassan Shehata after he left the Egyptian managerial position in early June 2011.[19] On the 7th July 2011, José won his sixth Egyptian championship after recovering from a 6-point deficit to league leaders, rivals Zamalek, when his team was lying on the fourth place and finished ahead of Zamalek, the eventual runners-up, by 5 points.[20]
