Moreno

Leicester City On 6 August 2010, Moreno signed a two-year contract with Football League Championship club Leicester City, joining compatriots Miguel Vítor and Paulo Sousa (manager). Four days later he made his debut for his new team, in a 4–3 win over Macclesfield Town in the first round of the League Cup.

In August 2011, after only six competitive appearances in 2010–11, Moreno was told he was free to look for a new club, and was not given a squad number for the upcoming season. His contract was cancelled on 13 January 2012.

Nacional Moreno returned to his country in the 2012 winter transfer window, joining C.D. Nacional in Madeira until 30 June 2014. He scored twice from 12 games in his first season, and agreed to cut ties with the club one year before his link expired.

Return to Guimarães On 4 July 2013, Moreno returned to Vitória Guimarães on a two-year deal. On 7 June 2017, already a fringe player but considered an "invaluable locker room presence" by coach Pedro Martins, the 35-year-old captain renewed his contract for one season.

Coaching career Vitória Moreno remained connected to Vitória after retiring, first as an assistant then as manager of the reserve team, reaching the latter in April 2021 after Bino was appointed at the main squad. The following month, after Bino's dismissal, he replaced him for the final two matches of the campaign, losing 3–1 at home against S.L. Benfica in the last round and missing out on qualification for the UEFA Europa Conference League after being overtaken by C.D. Santa Clara.

Having spent the 2021–22 season back in charge of the second team in Liga 3, Moreno returned to the main job at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques on 12 July when Pepa was dismissed days before the new campaign was due to begin. He won three games and drew the other in February 2023, earning the league's Manager of the Month award, though it was given in the name of his assistant João Aroso as he was technically unqualified to work in the top division.

Moreno resigned on 13 August 2023 after opening the new season with a 1–0 win at C.F. Estrela da Amadora, following Conference League elimination on penalties by NK Celje.

Chaves On 21 September 2023, Moreno succeeded José Gomes at bottom-placed G.D. Chaves. He debuted three days later by earning their first point in the sixth fixture, 2–2 at home to Estrela via a Pedro Pinho equaliser in the fourth minute of added time.
