As a player, Pacheco is a fierce midfielder. Long-term playing for Sporting Lisbon, Porto, Braga Football Club and other strong teams, with Porto won the 1987 European Champions Cup. At the same time, Pacheco is also the central midfielder of the Portuguese national team. 1984, the Portuguese team led by Pacheco surpassed the Soviet Union and West Germany and reached the semi-finals of the European Cup.
From 65438 to 0993, Pacheco coached Pacos Ferreira Football Club in Portugal as a coach and player, and won the sixth place in the Portuguese Super League, which was poached by Rio Avi. In Rio Avi, Pacheco helped the team reach the semi-final of the Portuguese Cup as a coach and player. From 65438 to 0996, Pacheco officially hung up his boots and independently coached Portuguese upstart Ji mares Football Club. After coaching guimaraes for two years, Pacheco led his team to win the fifth and third place in the league and participated in many European competitions such as the UEFA Cup.
From 65438 to 0998, Pacheco accepted the invitation of boavista, one of the Portuguese "Four Tigers", and took over the team. Pacheco has been strict in running the army since he took office, and his leading style is tough and fierce, but there are also many subtleties. In the first season, boavista beat Benfica and Sporting Lisbon to win the Portuguese Super League runner-up, and qualified for the European Champions Cup for the first time in history. 200 1, Pacheco made persistent efforts, led boavista to beat Porto and other giants with 77 points in 34 rounds, and won the Portuguese Super League title, which was also the first top league title in the history of boavista.
200 1-02 season boavista participated in the European Champions Cup for the second time. Pacheco's team drew with Premier League giants Liverpool twice and beat Dortmund in the Bundesliga and Dynamo Kiev Football Club, ranking second in the group and becoming the first dark horse in the Champions League. In the second stage of the group stage, boavista was in the "Death Group" with Premier League champion Manchester United, Bundesliga champion Bayern and French champion Nantes Football Club. Although it failed to break through, Pacheco's bloody division drew 0-0 with Bayern at home and swept Nantes 1-0, which left a deep impression on the media and fans. The following year, boavista made a comeback, with teams such as Paris Saint-Germain Football Club (Ligue 1), Hertha Football Club in Berlin (Bundesliga) and Malaga Football Club (La Liga) reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.
Pacheco's five years in charge is the most glorious period in boavista's history. In the Portuguese Super League, the team has always been in the top four, and has won many championships in European competitions over the years. In the past five years, boavista has sent many international celebrities such as Bosingwa, Petit, Bento, Cotto and Ricardo to the Portuguese national team in the golden age.
It is worth mentioning that Pacheco also won the reputation of "Mourinho's nemesis" during his coaching in boavista. The first game of Mourinho's coaching career was against boavista. Pacheco led the team in hot pursuit and beat Mourinho's Benfica with 1-0. That season, Mourinho hurried out of class after failing to finish the game, and soon took up his post at the Leria Union Football Club. Shortly after taking office, he played against boavista and lost again, still 0-/kloc-0-. The road to the enemy is narrow. This season's Portuguese Cup, Mourinho met Pacheco again. In overtime, he still lost, 0-3.
Mu Shuai, who became angry from embarrassment, repeatedly provoked a war of words in public, and Pacheco countered that Mu Shuai was a "mental derangement" and "can't afford to lose". Their grievances have also become the focus of Portuguese domestic media reports. However, due to the overall disadvantage of the war history, the times have changed, and Mourinho is now reluctant to mention the name Pacheco. Whether Magic Bird admits it or not, he will play Pacheco more or less when he leads Porto and Chelsea in the future. So far, Pacheco is also one of the two managers with the highest winning percentage against Mourinho (the other is former Liverpool manager Benitez).
Subsequently, Pacheco successively coached teams such as La Liga Mallorca, Portugal Chaoji mares and Vé lez Football Club, and achieved certain results. During this period, he also returned to the club to coach twice when boavista was in financial crisis, helping the team tide over the crisis.
In 2009, the Saudi giant Al Shabab Football Club hired Pacheco heavily. Pacheco led the team to win the King's Cup in Fahdi and reached the AFC Champions League 16 when he took office. 20 10, Al-Shabaab made persistent efforts and broke into the AFC Champions League semi-finals. 20 10 in may, pacheco resigned as head coach for family reasons.
On October 20 12, 165438+ 10, 17, thousands of Beijing fans gathered in T3 terminal of Capital Airport to see coach Pacheco off for the last trip. The scene is very touching. There are different opinions about the reasons for Guoan's dismissal of Pacheco, but one thing is certain: the friendly match between Guoan and Bayern in 1998 was the direct reason for Pacheco's dismissal. Against the background of the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Germany, Pacheco was expelled from the all-substitute team in that game, which made the top management angry and left early before the game was over. This laid the foundation for Pacheco's last class.
