Career

Playing career

Vieira was born in Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. He began his professional football career after studying Sports Medicine for four years, playing for top Brazilian clubs Vasco da Gama, Botafogo and Portuguesa in the 1970s. [1]

Coaching career

Vieira was appointed assistant manager to the Moroccan national side for the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. Alongside compatriot José Faria he led Morocco into the second round of the tournament as group winners ahead of England, Portugal and Poland, [2]

He then managed the Kuwait under-20 side [3] before having an impressive spell and leading Al Qadisiya to the Kuwaiti league title, which was followed by further success when he was in charge of Egyptian club Al-Ismaili in 2001. Vieira was re-appointed as the coach of the Oman Under-20 side in the same year. After spending a year in the job, Vieira went on to coach the Malaysia Under-20 side before returning to Oman, where he led Al-Nasr Salalah to the Sultan Qaboos Cup, and was manager of Al-Ta'ee in Saudi Arabia. [4]

On 26 December 2007 it was officially announced that Vieira signed a one-year contract with Mes Kerman F.C. in the Iran Pro League for an approximate fee of $640,000. [5] Yet a few days later on 29 December the deal fell through due to financial reasons. [6]

On 2 February 2008 Vieira signed an 18-month contract with AFC Champions League 2007 finalists Sepahan F.C. [7] Vieira was sacked by Sepahan F.C. on 9 June 2008, 12 months before his contract would expire. [8]

Vieira signed a one-year contract with Iraq on 2 September 2008 to manage them for the second time, when he led them in the Gulf Cup. [9]

On 10 August 2013 Jorvan Vieira was named coach of Kuwait's national side. The Brazilian led Iraq's national side to success in the 2007 Asian Cup. [10]

In October 2018 Jorvan Viera was named coach of Ismaily from Egypt. After a string of poor results sitting in the bottom of the league and getting knocked out of the 2018-19 Arab Club Champions Cup at the expense of Raja Casablanca on penalty's 4-2 he resigned on 13 December 2018, after only 2 months at the club.

Asian Cup success

Less than two months ahead of the 2007 AFC Asian Cup finals Vieira was named coach of war-torn Iraq. He led them all the way to the final of the 2007 WAFF Championship but finished as runners-up after losing 1–2 in the final against Iran. After this tournament, Iraq played in the Asian Cup. Incredibly, he led Iraq to the 2007 Asian Cup title after stunning the pre-tournament favourites Australia in a 3–1 victory, [11] edging Korea on penalties [12] and finally upsetting regional heavyweights Saudi Arabia 1–0 in the final. [13]
