Jaime Moreira Pacheco (born 22 July 1958) is a Portuguese formerfootballer who played as acentral midfielder, currently amanager.
During his career he played, among others, forPorto andSporting CP, amassingPrimeira Liga totals of 296 matches and 19 goals over 15 seasons. Subsequently, he worked as a manager for several clubs for more than two decades, includingBoavista which he led to its only league title.
APortugal international on 25 occasions, Pacheco represented the country at the1986 World Cup andEuro 1984.
Born inParedes, Pacheco arrived atFC Porto from lowlyAliados do Lordelo FC, then in thesecond division. He eventually consolidated himself in the team's starting XI, playing more than 100 competitive matches during his first spell.
In the summer of 1984, Pacheco signed with anotherPrimeira Liga club,Sporting CP, moving alongside teammateAntónio Sousa as part of the deal that sent 17-year-old prodigyPaulo Futre in the opposite direction.[2] The pair returned after two seasons, proceeding to win theEuropean Cup, theIntercontinental Cup and theUEFA Super Cup whilst appearing regularly (Sousa more than Pacheco).
Pacheco joinedVitória F.C. aged 31,[3] playing two seasons with both them andF.C. Paços de Ferreira and another withS.C. Braga – always in the top flight – retiring at the end of 1995 with amateursU.S.C. Paredes.
Pacheco made his debut for thePortugal national team on 23 February 1983, in a 1–0friendly win overWest Germany. In the following seven years, he won a further 24caps without scoring.[4]
Pacheco represented the nation at bothUEFA Euro 1984 and the1986 FIFA World Cup, both as a leading player.[5] After a four-year absence he made his final appearance, playing in a 0–0Euro 1992 qualifier againstFinland, on 12 September 1990.
Pacheco took up coaching while still an active footballer, starting with Paços Ferreira. In early 1994 he left Braga (as a player), and returned to the former in the same capacity. In a similar move, he would again act asplayer-coach, now atRio Ave FC, and leave Paredes forVitória S.C. midway through the1995–96 season, after which he concentrated solely on management; also with theMinho side, he managed a fifth place in the1996–97 campaign and a third inthe following.[6]
Pacheco was responsible forBoavista FC's greatest ever success, the league championship in2001, followed by a participation in thesecond group stage of theUEFA Champions League and a2002–03 UEFA Cup semi-final run.[7] These achievements prompted the interest ofLa Liga clubRCD Mallorca in June 2003, but he was dismissed in September after just five matches and one win,[8] immediately returning to Boavista as a replacement for sackedErwin Sánchez, whom he had previously managed there.[9]
Following a poor run of results, Pacheco stood down in April 2005. He was then contracted by Vitória Guimarães but resigned in December,[10] after which he again moved to his main club.
Pacheco was at Boavista's helm when thePorto team were relegated to division two at the end of the2007–08 season, due to theApito Dourado affair.[11] He then signed withC.F. Os Belenenses,[12] but left by mutual agreement in May 2009 as theLisbon side were eventuallyrelegated – later reinstated.[13]
Pacheco joinedAl Shabab FC (Riyadh) in 2009, winning thePrince Faisal bin Fahad Cup almost immediately. However, following a 1–0 group stage loss againstIran'sSepahan F.C. inthat campaign'sAFC Champions League on 15 April 2010, he was relieved of his duties.[14]
In December 2010, Pacheco was signed byBeijing Guoan F.C. ofChinese Super League on a year-long contract.[15] In June of the following year, during a match againstTianjin Teda F.C. atWorkers Stadium, he erected his middle finger to thereferee and the opposite team, being punished with an eight-match suspension and a€4,265 fine by theChinese Football Association.[16]
Pacheco moved to the third continent of his career in October 2014, when he was appointed at Egypt'sZamalek SC as a replacement for the dismissedHossam Hassan.[17] At the turn of the new year, he unexpectedly quit the league leaders to return to Al-Shabab;[18] he had a record of eight wins and a draw from ten games and felt disrespected by the club's board.[19] His second spell inRiyadh lasted just until March 2015, when he left by mutual consent to deal with undisclosed personal issues at home.[20]
In August 2016, Pacheco returned to China's top flight by agreeing to a one-year deal with Tianjin Teda.[21] Having completed his goal ofkeeping them in the league that year, he left the next May after a five-game winless run in the opening stages ofthe following campaign.[22]
Pacheco returned to Zamalek on 23 September 2020.[23] On 12 March 2021, he was dismissed.[24]
On 5 January 2023, Pacheco took overPyramids FC also in theEgyptian Premier League.[25]
