Managerial career

After leading Académico de Viseu to a mid-table finish in the 2013–14 season,[1] Chéu was appointed in May 2014 as the new coach of Penafiel.[2] Following three defeats in the first four games of the 2014–15 season,[3] Chéu reached a mutual agreement to leave Penafiel.[4]

In November 2014, two months after departing from Penafiel, Chéu returned to management by returning to former side Académico de Viseu.[5] In his second stint with the Viriatos, Chéu led the Viseu to a twelfth-place finish.[6] The following season, the 2015–16 season, saw Chéu depart during the halfway stage of the season after a string of poor results.[7] He then worked for Freamunde.[8]

In July 2018 he moved to Italy, accepting the role of head coach of newly promoted Serie C club Rieti.[9][10] He resigned on 30 December following a club's change of ownership.[11]

On 9 January 2019 Chéu was named new head coach of Slovak Super Liga club Senica on an 18-month deal, with the club second from bottom.[12] Having avoided relegation, he moved in June to Spartak Trnava in the same league.[13] He was replaced a year later, after coming fifth.[14]

Chéu returned to his country's second tier on 11 September 2021, succeeding Rui Santos at 13th-placed Estrela da Amadora.[15] He left by mutual consent at the end of the season on 1 June, having fallen one place in the table over his spell.[16]
