Career

Early career

Born in Guimarães, Campelos began his career in the staff of José Manuel Gomes at F.C. Paços de Ferreira and Leixões SC.[1] From 2007 to 2013, Campelos worked as an assistant manager to compatriot Toni at Saudi Arabian side Ettifaq FC, Sharjah FC in the United Arab Emirates, Al-Ittihad Club in Saudi Arabia and Tractor S.C. in Iran.[2] In 2013, he was given his first outright managerial job, at the reserve team of Hungary's Fehérvár FC in the country's third division.[1]

On 19 January 2015, Campelos was appointed at C.D. Trofense in his country's Segunda Liga; the team were last after 23 games.[3] In his first game as a professional manager six days later, he lost 2–0 at home to S.L. Benfica B.[4]

Vitória Guimarães and Moreirense

After relegation, Campelos moved in June 2015 to his hometown team Vitória S.C. B.[5] He left in May 2018, having kept them in the second tier in each of his three seasons with finishes of 13th, 11th and 11th;[6] He led the first team on an interim basis after the resignation of Pedro Martins,[7] losing 3–2 at C.S. Marítimo in his only game on 24 February 2018.[8]

In May 2019, Campelos was appointed manager of Primeira Liga club Moreirense FC, replacing Ivo Vieira.[9] He left by mutual accord on 16 December.[10]

On 15 January 2020, Campelos returned to the Saudi Professional League with Al Taawoun FC, replacing fellow Portuguese Paulo Sérgio.[11] He lost his job at the end of August, with six consecutive defeats out of a record of three wins in 15.[12]

Chaves

Campelos went back to Portugal's second tier on 11 February 2021, succeeding Carlos Pinto at fifth-placed G.D. Chaves.[13] In 2021–22, he won the league's Manager of the Month in December, January and April as the team finished third and returned to the top-flight after a three-year absence with a 2–1 aggregate win over his former club Moreirense in the promotion/relegation play-offs.[14]

In 2022–23, Campelos led the Trás-os-Montes team to seventh place with 46 points, one fewer than their all-time best five years earlier.[15] Highlights included a 1–0 home win over eventual champions S.L. Benfica on 15 April.[16] The team were in contention until the final day for sixth place, which would have guaranteed a first ever European season in the UEFA Europa Conference League, but the club's board had not registered with UEFA before the deadline.[17]

Campelos was linked with EFL Championship teams Hull City and Cardiff City.[18][19] He said he was "99 per cent" on the way to Cardiff, before owner Vincent Tan hired another manager.[20] He left Chaves on 2 June 2023.[21]

Gil Vicente

On 30 June 2023, Campelos signed a one-year deal at Gil Vicente F.C. in the same league.[20]
