Jorvan Vieira (born 1953) is a Brazilian football manager.
Jorvan began his professional football career after studying Sports Medicine for three years, playing for top Brazilian clubs Vasco Da Gama, Botafogo and Portuguesa before going on to coach all three clubs after hanging up his boots.
Vieira took his first overseas postition in 1980 when he became coach of Qatar Sports Club for a season before taking charge of the Oman Under-20 side a year later. He then moved on to Africa where he spent over eight years in Morocco. During that time he managed several Moroccan sides including FAR_Rabat, whom he led to the 1987 and 1989 league championships and the 1986 Moroccan Cup, as well as Wydad Athletic Club, TS Casablanca and IR Tanger.
Vieira was appointed assistant manager to Moroccan national side in the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico and alongside compatriot José Faria he led Morocco in to the second round of the tournament, becoming the first African side to do so in the process.
An impressive spell in Kuwait in 1999, where he led Al Qadisiya to the Kuwait league title, was followed by further success in charge of Egyptian side Al-Ismaili in 2001 and Vieira was re-appointed as the coach of the Oman Under-20 side in the same year. After spending a year in the job, Vieira went on to coach the Malaysian Under-20 side before returning to Oman, where he led Al Nasr Salalah to the Sultan Qaboos Cup, and was manager of Al Tai in Saudi Arabia.
Less than two months ahead of the 2007 AFC Asian Cup finals he was named coach of Iraq. Jorvan Vieira led the Iraq national football team to become the 2007 Asian Cup football tournament champions, upsetting Saudi Arabia national football team 1-0. The sole goal was scored by Younis Mahmoud. It was a great achievement for them considering their war-torn homeland and of course, a rare moment of pure joy for all Iraqis.
As for as his Iraq two-month contract has expired, it is speculated that he is going be the next Korea Republic manager, after Pim Verbeek resigned.
