António Miguel Nunes Ferraz Leal de Araújo (born 22 April 1965), known as Leal, is a Portuguese football manager.

Football career

Born in Marco de Canaveses, Porto District, Leal only played amateur football, retiring in 1998 after a three-year spell with Sport Clube Salvadorense. His first head coaching spell arrived midway through the 2002–03 season, and he was able to help F.C. Marco narrowly avoid relegation from the Segunda Liga.

From 2004 to 2009, Leal worked mainly as an assistant manager, representing in that capacity U.S.C. Paredes, S.C. Beira-Mar, Aliados Lordelo F.C. and F.C. Penafiel. In the 2009–10 campaign, he acted as fitness coach at Turkish club Gaziantepspor.

On 28 May 2012, after another youth spell with Penafiel, Leal was appointed as coach of the first team.[1] He led them to the ninth position in his first year, achieving promotion to the Primeira Liga in the following after a third-place finish as the runners-up FC Porto B were not eligible;[2] following this success, he was voted coach of the season.[3]

On 16 May 2014, Leal signed with Moreirense F.C. also in the top division.[4] He left on 19 May 2016 following the expiration of his contract, after consecutively managing to lead the team into safety.[5]

On 11 October 2016, Leal was announced as new Boavista F.C. manager after the club parted ways with Erwin Sánchez.[6] He was relieved of his duties early into the following season,[7] but found accommodation two days after being fired by joining second level side F.C. Arouca.[8]

Leal left Arouca on 26 September 2018, after four consecutive losses put the team in last place at the start of the season.[9] The following 17 January, he came back to the league at C.D. Cova da Piedade on a deal until the end of the campaign.[10] When it finished, he returned to Penafiel on 4 June 2019, succeeding Armando Evangelista.[11]

Personal life

Leal obtained an academic and Master's degree in physical education, as well as completing a doctorate in psychology.[12]
