Armando Evangelista Macedo Freitas (born 3 November 1973) is a Portuguese football manager and former player who played as a defensive midfielder.
In the summer of 2010, three seasons after finishing his professional career as a player, Evangelista embarked on his managerial career by taking charge of Vitória S.C.'s under-19 team. After two seasons there, he departed to take charge of F.C. Vizela in the third tier.
Evangelista's stay with Vizela was short-lived, and in April 2013 he returned to Vitória to manage its reserve side in Segunda Liga until the end of the season. [1] Despite claiming 9 points from a possible 21, he was unable to prevent relegation to the third tier. [2]
However, Evangelista's stay was prolonged and in 2013–14 season he led the Conquistadores to a first-place finish, and thus promotion back to the second tier. [3] [4] [5] The following season, he took them to 9th. [6] He was subsequently named manager of the first team in June 2015 after Rui Vitória's departure from the club. [7] [8]
After just five league matches – a win and a loss each – and elimination from the UEFA Europa League qualifiers by Austria's SC Rheindorf Altach, Evangelista was dismissed on 21 September. [9]
In May 2016, Evangelista succeeded Nuno Capucho at Varzim S.C. in the second tier. [10] He left on 13 October, with the team in 12th. [11]
In September 2017, Evangelista returned to the same league at 15th-placed F.C. Penafiel for the rest of the season. [12] He then signed on for the following campaign, [13] in which he took the team to 8th then left to be replaced by Miguel Leal. [14]
Evangelista returned to work on 5 February 2020, at U.D. Vilafranquense, presiding over only four games as the season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then turning down a new deal. [15] [16]
On 15 May 2020, Evangelista moved to second-tier newcomers F.C. Arouca. [17] In his first season, Arouca came third and then defeated Rio Ave F.C. in the play-offs to reach the Primeira Liga for the first time since 2017. [18] After a win over Moreirense F.C. the team made the Taça da Liga semi-finals for the first time the 2022–23 season, where they lost 2–1 to Sporting CP. [19] [20] The league season ended with a club joint-best fifth place, qualifying for the UEFA Europa Conference League. [21] Evangelista then turned down a contract renewal and left the club. [22]
On 9 June 2023, it was reported that Evangelista accepted an offer from Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Goiás Esporte Clube to become their new head coach. [23] On 14 November, he was dismissed with the club in the relegation zone. [24]
On 20 March 2024, Evangelista returned to Portugal as he was named manager of top tier side F.C. Famalicão on a deal until the end of the campaign, replacing João Pedro Sousa who had left by mutual consent a day earlier. [25]
