Miguel Moita

Miguel Ribeiro Moita (born 7 August 1983) is a Portuguese football manager.

Career Born in Vieira do Minho in the Braga District, Moita graduated in physical education from the University of Porto. From 2008 to 2024, he was part of the coaching staff of Leonardo Jardim at G.D. Chaves, S.C. Beira-Mar, S.C. Braga, Olympiacos FC, Sporting CP, AS Monaco FC, Al Hilal SFC, Shabab Al Ahli Club and Al-Rayyan SC. On 25 November 2025, after Vítor Matos departed for Swansea City, Moita was given his first such job, at C.S. Marítimo of Liga Portugal 2. He signed until the end of the season with the option of one more, and had a release clause of €2 million. Eight people made up his coaching staff, including former club captain Edgar Costa.

After a winning start - the best by a Marítimo coach in the 21st century - he also won the “Coach of the Month” award for January 2026. On 26 April of the same year, he secured promotion to the Primeira Liga with Marítimo after a 2–1 away victory over S.L. Benfica B, but still departed the club by mutual consent on 18 May 2026.
