José António Rocha Garrido (11 July 1960 – 9 November 2024) was a Portuguese football player and manager who played as a centre-back.

Managerial career

Garrido's early managerial career was spent in the lower leagues of Portuguese football. In May 2003, he took over at F.C. Penafiel, three points above relegation from Segunda Liga, for the final four games before beginning a contract at third-tier F.C. Vizela.^[1] Following a year there, he moved abroad to Sabah FA of Malaysia in November 2004,^[2] and Kuwaiti duo Kazma SC and Qadsia SC. In 2010, he won the Bahraini King's Cup for Riffa SC, ending a 12-year drought in that competition.^[3]

In January 2011, Garrido was back in his own country for the first time in seven years to take the helm again at Penafiel.^[4] On 6 March he was dismissed and replaced by Jorge Regadas.^[5]

Garrido went back to the Middle East, managing Dhofar Club (Oman), Al-Nasr SC (Kuwait) and a second spell at Riffa. He was appointed manager of the Gabon national football team in November 2016, after the dismissal of compatriot Jorge Costa.^[6] In the same month, he too was dismissed and replaced by José Antonio Camacho; he sued the Gabonese Football Federation for wrongful dismissal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport and received $514,000 compensation.^[7]

On 24 September 2019, Garrido was appointed the manager of Saudi Arabian club Al-Batin.^[8] In his first season in charge he managed to win the MS League title and promotion to the Pro League.

On 28 June 2021, Garrido was appointed the manager of Al-Jabalain.^[9]

On 26 January 2023, Garrido was appointed the manager of Al-Qaisumah.^[10]
