Álvaro Adriano Teixeira Pacheco (born 25 June 1971) is a Portuguese former footballer and current manager of Saudi Arabian club Al-Orobah.

After achieving a total of 70 games in the second tier as a player, he worked as an assistant manager to Miguel Leal before managing in his own right at Fafe. Hired at Vizela in 2019, he achieved consecutive promotions to the Primeira Liga in his first two seasons, and also led Estoril and Vitória de Guimarães in the top flight.

Playing career

Born in Vila Cova da Lixa, Felgueiras, Pacheco is a product of the football academies of his local clubs Lixa and Felgueiras, while working as a locksmith with his father as a teenager. He started playing professional football with Felgueiras, having played 70 games in the second tier, and had spent most of his career in semi-pro leagues in Portugal. His first job as a manager was in 2005 with the youth ranks of his club Paredes, and he retired from playing in 2007, at the age of 34.^[1]

Coaching career

Early years

Pacheco began his senior coaching career with Lixa in 2011. Afterwards, he was the assistant manager for Miguel Leal at Penafiel, Moreirense and Boavista, and with Filipe Ribeiro at Jonava in Lithuania.^[1]

On 24 September 2018, Pacheco returned to work as a head coach at Fafe, ranked 7th in the third tier.^[2] In his one season there, he took the team to the playoffs, where they were eliminated by Praiense in the quarter-finals.^[3]

Vizela

In June 2019, Pacheco signed for Vizela, another team eliminated from the same stage of the play-offs.^[3] His first season was aborted because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Portuguese Football Federation promoted leaders Vizela and Arouca to the second tier.^[4]

On his debut as a professional manager on 12 September 2020, Pacheco won 2–1 at home to Oliveirense.^[5] His team sealed a second successive promotion the following 22 May, beating Arouca to second place with a 5–2 home win over Vilafranquense on the final day; Vizela's only previous season in the Primeira Liga was 1984–85.^[6] In July 2021, he was named Manager of the Year at the LPFP Awards and signed a contract for two more years.^[7]^[8]

In his first top-flight game on 6 August 2021, Pacheco's Vizela lost 3–0 at reigning champions Sporting CP.^[9] On 23 December, his side won 1–0 at home in the fifth round of the Taça de Portugal against district neighbours and cup holders Braga.^[10] The team were eliminated 3–1 at home by Porto in the quarter-finals on 12 January 2022.^[11]

On 30 November 2022, with Vizela in a safe 13th place and the season paused due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Pacheco was nonetheless dismissed and replaced by under-23 manager Tulipa. Days later, he was honoured by Vizela City Hall, and said that he wanted to return to the club.^[12]

Estoril

On 19 June 2023, Pacheco was hired for one year at fellow top-flight team Estoril, where he had played nearly a quarter of a century earlier.^[13] On 24 September, after six Primeira Liga matches, Estoril, sitting in penultimate place in the league table with four points, announced that Pacheco and his coaching staff had been relieved of their duties.^[14]^[15]

Vitória Guimarães

On 4 October 2023, Pacheco was appointed manager of Primeira Liga side Vitória Guimarães, signing a two-year contract with the Guimarães-based side.^[16] The third manager of the season after Moreno and Paulo Turra, he led the club to seven wins in his first ten matches, also reaching a five-match unbeaten streak.^[17]

In April 2024, Pacheco travelled to Brazil to hold talks with Cuiabá, who eventually hired compatriot Petit. Vitória president António Miguel Cardoso was angered by the trip and dismissed Pacheco on 15 May 2024, having already qualified the club to the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League. Cardoso said that could not be "held hostage" by a manager who wanted to leave; Pacheco sued him for defamation.^[18]

Vasco da Gama

Days after leaving Vitória, Pacheco signed for Vasco da Gama of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. He cited the club's Portuguese origins and history of fighting discrimination as reasons for the move.^[18] He only lasted four matches at the club before being sacked on 20 June 2024.^[19]

Al-Orobah

On 21 July 2024, Pacheco was appointed manager of Saudi Pro League side Al-Orobah.^[20]
