Jorge Miguel Gonçalves Maciel (born 30 October 1985) is a Portuguese football manager who is currently the assistant head coach of Ligue 1 club Lyon.
Career
[edit]Born in Barcelos,[1] Maciel was an assistant manager for Lito Vidigal and Jorge Simão at Primeira Liga club Belenenses in 2014–15.[2]
From 2017 to 2019, he assisted compatriot Miguel Cardoso at Rio Ave, Nantes and Celta de Vigo.[3]
Maciel returned to his homeland in July 2019 to be manager of Benfica's under-23 team, but returned to being an assistant in November, at Lille OSC, to help Christophe Galtier, Jocelyn Gourvennec, and Paulo Fonseca.[4]
On 5 July 2023, at the age of 37, Maciel left Lille to become head coach of Ligue 2 club Valenciennes, signing a two-year contract.[1] On his debut on 5 August, the team lost 4–1 at home to AJ Auxerre.[5] On 6 December 2023, with Valenciennes sitting last-place in the Ligue 2 table after just one victory in seventeen matches, Maciel was sacked.[6]
