Felipe José Feres Moreira (born 15 January 1981), known as Felipe Moreira, is a Brazilian football coach and former player who played as a midfielder.

Career

Moreira was a Ponte Preta youth graduate. After suffering a severe knee injury at the age of 22, he retired.[1]

Moreira subsequently joined his father's staff, as an assistant manager. In December 2014 he was named Bragantino assistant, despite the club lacking a first team manager.[2]

In 2015 Moreira returned to Ponte Preta, again as an assistant. On 7 October, after Doriva's departure to São Paulo, he was named interim manager.[3]

On 2 December 2016, after Eduardo Baptista's departure to Palmeiras, Moreira was named manager of Ponte ahead of the 2017 season.[4]

In November 2022, Moreira was appointed head coach of Nejmeh in the Lebanese Premier League.[5] He resigned only one week later citing family reasons.[6] He returned to Ponte for the 2023 season, as an assistant, before being named head coach on 19 April of that year.[7]

On 22 July 2023, Moreira was sacked.[8]

Personal life

Moreira's father, Marco Aurelio Moreira, was also a footballer and manager. He too played and managed Ponte Preta.[1]
