Career

In July 2008, after several seasons working as a part of a backroom staff as well as for several lower level sides, Quinta accepted an invitation to manage Portuguese Second Division side F.C. Penafiel.^[1] At the helm of the Penafidelenses, he guided them to promotion to the Segunda Liga.^[2]^[3]

Immediately afterwards, Quinta left for Gil Vicente FC.^[4] He resigned on 28 February 2010.^[5]

On 13 June 2011, Quinta was appointed as the new manager of Varzim SC.^[6] A month into his spell, he left to take up an assistant manager role at FC Porto alongside Vítor Pereira.^[7] The club claimed back-to-back league titles.

Quinta left the Dragões at the end of the 2012–13 season, following Pereira. After a one-year absence, he returned to manage his former side Penafiel for a second spell in September 2014, this time in the Primeira Liga.^[8] He left on 17 March 2015 after a 2–0 home loss to Rio Ave F.C. left the club in last place with 16 points.^[9]

On 24 December 2016, Quinta returned to management at F.C. Vizela until the end of the season, after Ricardo Soares left for G.D. Chaves.^[10] He left the following 14 March, having won twice in 11 matches and with the team in the relegation places.^[11]

Quinta resumed his career at S.C. Espinho of the third tier on 27 June 2017.^[12] In his second season, the team won their group, but were eliminated on penalties in the quarter-finals of the promotion play-offs by eventual champions Casa Pia AC.^[13] He remained in the division and the Aveiro District, taking over at Lusitânia F.C. on 10 June 2019.^[14]

Quinta left Lusitânia by mutual consent on 9 November 2020, after four games of the new season.^[15] The following 21 January, he was hired at S.C. Salgueiros.^[16]
