7. Vitor Pereira
Age: 45.
Clubs: A.D. Sanjoanense, S.C. Espinho, C.D. Santa Clara, FC Porto, Al-Ahli.
Major Honours: Primeira Liga (2).
As is becoming something of a tradition in Portuguese coaches – look at Mourinho and Andre Villas-Boas – Pereira never had a professional playing career.
Instead he worked his way up through the lower divisions in Portugal before eventually landing the job with Porto in 2011 and leading them to back-to-back titles before switching to Saudi Arabia.
