José Manuel Ferreira de Morais (born 27 July 1965) is a Portuguese football coach.

Morais arrived at Inter Milan in July 2009 to replace the departing André Villas-Boas, who took the head coaching position with Académica de Coimbra.[1] Hired by fellow countryman José Mourinho, the two reportedly first met at Benfica in 2000.

After head coach Mourinho terminated his contract with Inter, Morais followed Mourinho to Real Madrid in June 2010. Similarly, he then followed Mourinho to Chelsea in June 2013 following the end of Mourinho's managerial spell with Real Madrid. In February 2015, Morais started with Tunisian club Espérance.

Playing career

Morais' playing career started at the União de Leiria in 1984. He stayed there for two seasons before moving to Dragões de Alferrarede in 1986, playing there for two years. His next stint at Atlético CP lasted only one year. In 1990, he went on loan to Praiense before finally retiring in Penafiel after the 1990–91 season.

Coaching career

Morais worked with the Benfica youth team among several football clubs in Portugal,[2] Swedish club Assyriska, Tunisian club Espérance de Tunis (EST), as well as once holding the head coach position for the Yemen national team.[3][4] On 27 April 2002, he became the coach of Westfalia Herne in the German fourth division.[5] Between 20 January 2003 and 30 June, he was the head coach from two times German champion Dresdner SC in the German third league.

On 6 June 2014, Morais was named as new manager of Saudi side Al-Shabab. He won Saudi Super Cup title after defeating Al Nassr in penalty shootout in his first match as Al-Shabab manager. For the 2014–15 season, Morais took a one-year sabbatical to become manager of Saudi Arabian team Al-Shabbab before returning to Chelsea for the start of pre-season ahead of the 2015–16 Premier League campaign.

Following Barnsley's relegation on 6 May 2018, Morais and his coaching staff departed when the club triggered a clause to terminate their contracts should Barnsley be relegated.

On 16 August 2018, Morais was appointed as manager of Ukrainian Premier League club Karpaty Lviv.[6]
