Luis Miguel Correia Pinto (born 1 January 1989) is a Portuguese football manager who is the current manager of Tondela.

Career

Born in Porto, Pinto began coaching at local Boavista F.C.'s youth teams in his early 20s. He went on to be assistant manager at C.D. Trofense and U.D. Leiria before succeeding Rui Amorim as manager of the latter in June 2018, aged 29. [1] Eight months later he moved to SC Mirandela, also in the Campeonato de Portugal. [2]

In June 2019, Pinto was hired at F.C. Felgueiras 1932 and tasked with taking the club into the professional leagues. [3] On 23 November 2020, Real S.C. manager Hugo Martins announced his exit two hours before a Taça de Portugal match and Pinto replaced him, [4] only to be replaced by Luís Loureiro in March after winning and losing six each of 14 fixtures. [5]

For 2021–22, Pinto was hired at Leça F.C. and missed out on promotion to Liga 3 on the last day as Vilaverdense FC drew with C.S. Marítimo B. [6] He also led the team to the quarter-finals of the domestic cup, defeating Primeira Liga sides F.C. Arouca and Gil Vicente F.C. before losing 4–0 at home to Sporting CP. [7] [8] [9]

In June 2022, Pinto was hired at Lusitânia F.C. of the same league. [10] He left by mutual consent on 19 December having won four and lost five of his 13 games. [11]

On 23 January 2023, AD Fafe hired Pinto. [12] He made his Liga 3 debut five days later in a 1–0 win at U.S.C. Paredes, ending a club run of seven games without a victory. [13] Having helped the club avoid relegation, he was given another year in charge in June 2023, [14] and kept the club in the league again before leaving. [15]

Pinto signed for C.D. Tondela on 30 May 2024, on a one-year contract with the option of a second. [16] His professional debut at age 35 in Liga Portugal 2 came on 10 August, as the season opened with a 2–2 draw at C.S. Marítimo. He was voted Manager of the Month for September/October after winning all five games, scoring 15 goals and conceding three. [17]
