Career

In the summer of 2010, three seasons after finishing his professional career as a player, Evangelista embarked on his managerial career by taking charge of Vitória S.C.'s under-19 team. After two seasons there, he departed to take charge of F.C. Vizela in the third tier.

Evangelista's stay with Vizela was short-lived, and in April 2013 he returned to Vitória to manage its reserve side in Segunda Liga until the end of the season.[1] Despite claiming 9 points from a possible 21, he was unable to prevent relegation to the third tier.[2]

However, Evangelista's stay was prolonged and in 2013–14 season he led the Conquistadores to a first-place finish, and thus promotion back to the second tier.[3][4][5] The following season, he took them to 9th.[6] He was subsequently named manager of the first team in June 2015 after Rui Vitória's departure from the club.[7][8]

After just five league matches – a win and a loss each – and elimination from the UEFA Europa League qualifiers by Austria's SC Rheindorf Altach, Evangelista was dismissed on 21 September.[9] In May 2016, he succeeded Nuno Capucho at Varzim S.C. in the second tier.[10] He left on 13 October, with the team in 12th.[11]

In September 2017, Evangelista returned to the second tier at 15th-placed F.C. Penafiel for the rest of the season.[12] He then signed on for the following campaign,[13] in which he took the team to 8th then left to be replaced by Miguel Leal.[14]

Evangelista returned to work on 5 February 2020, at U.D. Vilafranquense, presiding over only four games as the season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then turning down a new deal.[15][16] On 15 May that year, he moved to second-tier newcomers F.C. Arouca.[17]
