Career

As a player, Campos had a relatively short career, playing as a right-back for his local clubs Esposende and Fão.[3]

Campos began coaching in the lower leagues of Portugal at the age of 27 with Leiria, and managed several amateur teams and eventually professional teams in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. As manager of Gil Vicente, Campos ended José Mourinho's 27-game unbeaten streak with Porto. In 2012, Campos was a scout and tactical analyst for Real Madrid under Mourinho.[citation needed]

Campos made his name as sporting director at Monaco from 2013 to 2016. He oversaw the transfers of Radamel Falcao, João Moutinho, James Rodríguez, Fabinho, Anthony Martial, Ricardo Carvalho, Dimitar Berbatov, Bernardo Silva, Tiémoué Bakayoko, Geoffrey Kondogbia, and Thomas Lemar amongst others. He became the sporting director of Lille in 2017.[4][5][6] On 18 December 2020, Campos left Lille after a change of ownership at the club.[7]

On 10 June 2022, Campos joined French champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) as Football Advisor. According to the club, the role of Football Advisor entails "focus on the performance, recruitment, and organisational side" of the team.[8] Campos continued in his position as an external advisor for La Liga club Celta de Vigo.[9] In his first transfer window at Paris Saint-Germain, he oversaw the arrivals of Vitinha, Hugo Ekitike, Nordi Mukiele, Renato Sanches, Fabián Ruiz, and Carlos Soler for a total in the region of €100 million.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] On 23 December 2023, Campos ceased his duties as external advisor for Celta Vigo.[17]
