Vieira continued to work mainly in his native state in the following years, being in charge of Santa Cruz-RS (six times,[2] where one of them he did not manage the club for a single match due to accepting an offer from a Saudi club),[3] Caixas,[4] Veranópolis (four times),[5] Farroupilha, Glória,[6][7] Esportivo (two times),[8] Avenida (four times),[9][10] Cerâmica, Aimoré (two times),[11] São Paulo-RS,[12] Ypiranga-RS and Passo Fundo,[13] also with a return to Brasil de Pelotas in 2011. He also worked in Santa Catarina with Atlético Tubarão (three times)[14][15] and Brusque (two times),[16][17] and also worked abroad with Saudi Arabian sides Al-Riyadh and Al-Watani.

On 26 March 2021, Vieira returned to São José in the place of Carlos Moraes.[18]
