From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
António Luís Alves Ribeiro Oliveira (born 10
June 1952) is a former footballer, manager and current president of Portuguese club Futebol Clube
Penafiel.
Playing
career
Oliveira, a product of FC Porto's youth system, debuted with the
first team aged 18, and was already a very important player on a
side that recaptured the league title in the 77-78 season,
ending a 20-year drought, which earned him a transfer to Real Betis, where he was,
however, unsuccessful, returning to Porto, still in time to be
crowned 1980 league champion. However, after internal disputes,
both club director (eventually president) Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa and
coach José Maria Pedroto left Porto in
1980, and Oliveira followed suit, joining FC Penafiel as a
player-manager (while still being called up for international matches),
changing to Sporting Clube de Portugal
from 1981-85, and quitting after a short stint with CS
Marítimo. Pedroto, the legendary Portuguese manager praised him
as ...one of the best all-time players. By the time of his
retirement, he was capped by Portugal 24 times, scoring 7
goals.
Manager
career
Relatively unsuccessful while a club manager (except for
back-to-back national championships with former side FC Porto
(1996-1998)), Oliveira had two terms in the Portuguese national
team: first during the whole Euro 1996 campaign and then for the 2002 FIFA
World Cup. While he brought Portugal again to a major
competition (after notable failures such as the USA'94 campaign led by Carlos Queiróz), in the European tournament
he was knocked out against soon-to-be finalists Czech Republic in
the quarter-finals. Several problems surfaced in his second term.
While the 2002 WC qualifying stage was unusually smooth, several
problems and poor judgement decisions occurred during the
preparation and tournament itself - Vítor Baía replaced in-form Ricardo in goal, Beto
played out of position at right back, Luís Figo was in very poor physical condition
and Hugo Viana was
called as a last-minute replacement for Daniel Kenedy (who tested positive in a
doping control test) - as
Portugal underachieved and ended third in its group stage,
subsequently eliminated. Oliveira was fired after the World
Cup.
He coached many clubs in Portugal, firstly he took over at Vitoria de Guimaraes in the 1987-88 season. He managed SC Braga
from 1992 and 1994, and after coaching the Portuguese national
team, he signed with FC Porto. The season started with a
whooping 5-0 victory over rival Benfica in the Super Cup. In 1996-97 and 1997-98 the dragons celebrated two league
titles. In the first season, 1996-97, FC Porto won the
championship with 85 points, a record that only Jose Mourinho's FC Porto surpassed in 2002-03 with 86 points. In the UEFA
Champions League, the team finished the group stage in the
first place, winning 2-3 away at San Siro over AC Milan. In the quarter
finals, FC
Porto eliminated by Alex Ferguson's Manchester United. This season was one of
the most impressive in Porto's history, due to the awesome football
the team played, with footballers such as Mario Jardel and Zlatko Zahovic in their roster.
However, the 1997-98 season did not start well, with the team
finishing fourth in the Champions
League group stage and being eliminated. In the League, Porto easily won its fourth
consecutive title, with 9 points difference from Benfica. Porto also won the
Cup with a 3-1 victory over Braga in
the final. After this, Oliveira left the club to sign with Real Betis. Estrela de
Amadora coach Fernando Santos
was his successor.
Oliveira took over at Real Betis in the start of the 1998-99 season, but with no success.
