Career
From 2009 to 2012, Vaz managed Paris Saint-Germain Féminine.[4] [5] During that time, PSG won the 2009–10 Challenge de France,[4] [5] after beating Montpellier HSC 5–0 in the final.[5] PSG also came second in the 2010–11 Division 1 Féminine,[6] [7] finishing behind Olympique Lyonnais Féminin.[8] PSG qualified for the 2011–12 UEFA Women's Champions League,[5] the first time in their history that they had qualified for the tournament.[9] They reached the round of 16 before being eliminated by Eintracht Frankfurt.[1] Whilst Vaz was manager of PSG, the club was taken over by Qatar Sports Investments.[8] Vaz signed Brazilian footballer Kátia Cilene Teixeira from Division 1 Féminine champions Lyon.[2] Vaz was supportive of more women managing Division 1 Féminine clubs; in the 2011–12 season, only three of the 12 Division 1 Féminine teams were managed by women.[10] Vaz left PSG in 2012, after the club failed to qualify for the 2012–13 UEFA Women's Champions League, and were knocked out in the semi-finals of the 2011–12 Coupe de France Féminine.[11] He was replaced by Farid Benstiti, who had been managing the Russia women's national football team.[12]
In 2014, Vaz released a book Football Féminin about his experience of coaching women's football teams.[13] He later worked as a coach at Sciences Po in Paris.[1]
In February 2021, Vaz was announced as the manager of Division 1 Féminine side GPSO 92 Issy, replacing .[4] [5] Vaz had to deal with players' discontent at the dismissal of Yacine Guesmia after five years in charge,[14] and general unhappiness with the club's management. Many players boycotted Vaz's first training session in protest; some players considered refusing to play in GPSO 92 Issy's next match, but all players then agreed to play.[15] His first match in charge of GPSO 92 Issy was against PSG.[4] [5] Issy were 11th out of 12 teams in Division 1 Féminine when Vaz arrived.[16] Issy were initially relegated to Division 2 Féminine at the end of the 2020–21 season,[17] but the French Football Federation later reprieved Issy, meaning that they would compete in the 2021–22 Division 1 Féminine.[18] Issy were relegated to Division 2 Féminine for the 2022–2023 season,[19] and Vaz left the team in July 2022.[20]
