Ivo Ricardo Abreu Vieira (born 10 January 1976) is a Portuguese former footballer who played as a defender, currently a manager.
He spent his entire playing career with Nacional, where he also began his managerial career in 2011. He managed six other clubs in the Primeira Liga, and won the Campeonato Mato-Grossense with Cuiabá in 2023.
Vieira was born in Machico, Madeira. His entire ten-year professional career was spent with local C.D. Nacional, which he represented in all three major levels since being promoted to the main squad at the age of 18; during his tenure, he also acted as captain.[1]
From 2002 to 2004, Vieira competed in the Primeira Liga. His first game in the competition took place on 22 September 2002, as he came on a last-minute substitute in a 2–0 away win against S.C. Beira-Mar; in the latter season, he contributed 19 appearances to help his team to a best-ever fourth position.
After retiring at the age of only 28, Vieira started working as a coach, first being named assistant manager at Nacional under Casemiro Mior. On 14 March 2011, after a spell with the club's juniors, he was handed the reins of the first team after Predrag Jokanović was fired.[2] However, he himself was replaced by Pedro Caixinha at the end of October.[3]
On 19 January 2013, Vieira was announced as the new manager of C.S. Marítimo B,[4] the reserves of Nacional's local rivals. In early March 2015, after Leonel Pontes' resignation, he was appointed his successor at the helm of the first team,[5] leading the club to the final of the Taça da Liga the following month later after disposing of FC Porto in the last-four stage.[6]
Vieira resigned on 18 January 2016, due to poor results.[7]
On 27 May 2016, Vieira was appointed at Segunda Liga club C.D. Aves for one year.[8] He left on 15 February 2017, with the team nine points clear in the second promotion place after a run of one point from four games.[9]
Vieira became manager of Académica de Coimbra in May 2017, stating his aim to end their exile from the top flight.[10] He left in November with the side in sixth[11] and took the helm at G.D. Estoril Praia,[12] leaving after their top-division relegation.[13]
On 28 May 2018, Vieira signed a one-year deal at Moreirense FC.[14] He left at the end of this contract, having taken the team from Moreira de Cónegos to a best-ever sixth place,[15] and in June 2019 he was hired by neighbours Vitória SC.[16] After finishing seventh in his only season, he announced a sabbatical to spend time with his family.[17]
Vieira was appointed as the manager of Al Wehda Club in the Saudi Professional League on 10 September 2020.[18] He left by mutual consent the following 2 February, with the side in 10th.[19]
On 8 March 2021, Vieira returned to his country's top flight with F.C. Famalicão. He signed a contract of undisclosed length at the club, who were second-from-bottom with 11 games remaining.[20] His team were in contention for a UEFA Europa Conference League place on the final day of the season,[21] eventually missing out but finishing 9th.[22]
Vieira was dismissed on 19 December 2021, having taken 11 points from 15 games and with Famalicão in 16th.[23] The following 28 June, he replaced Ricardo Soares at Gil Vicente F.C. on a two-year deal.[24] He was removed from his post on 2 November after four consecutive defeats.[25]
On 8 December 2022, Vieira replaced his compatriot António Oliveira at the helm of Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Cuiabá Esporte Clube.[26] He won the Campeonato Mato-Grossense in his first year – his first career trophy – via an unbeaten season that concluded with a 3–0 aggregate win over União Esporte Clube.[27]
On 10 May 2023, after a 4–0 home loss to Clube Atlético Mineiro, Vieira was sacked.[28]
