Leonel Pontes da Encarnação (born 9 July 1972) is a Portuguese football manager.

Coaching career

On 8 May 2014, Pontes announced that he would leave his assistant managerial role of the Portugal national team and take over Primeira Liga side Marítimo.[1]

Debrecen

On 8 August 2016, he was appointed as the coach of the Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Debreceni VSC after the resignation of Elemér Kondás.[2] Pontes signed a three-year contract and he brought his colleagues from Portugal too: José Maria Calado Pratas and José Maria Calado Pratas.[3]

On 14 September 2016, Debrecen were eliminated from the 2016–17 Magyar Kupa after a 1–0 defeat at the ETO Park against the Nemzeti Bajnokság III club Győri ETO FC. Debrecen were the only Nemzeti Bajnokság I club which could not qualify for the best 64 teams.[4]

On 22 February 2017 Pontes-led Debrecen could not win a match in six matches in a row in the 2016–17 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season which occurred 15 years ago in the 2001–02 Nemzeti Bajnokság I.[5]

On 19 March 2017, Géza Róka, the director of Debreceni VSC said that they do not issue an ultimatum to sack Pontes. [6]

On 22 May 2017, Pontes left the club with mutual agreement and he was replaced by András Herczeg for the last round against Diósgyőri VTK to escape from the relegation.[7]
