Manuel Jesualdo Ferreira (born 24 May 1946) is a Portuguese football manager who is the current manager of Qatari club Al Sadd SC.
In his early career, Ferreira managed Rio Maior and Torreense. Ferreira was the assistant manager for the Portugal national team in the 1990s, and manager for the under-21 national team until the 1999–2000 season.
In 1984–85, Ferreira took over at Académica de Coimbra and was dismissed after matchday seven with the balance of one victory and six defeats, being replaced by Vítor Manuel who led the team to a final seventh place position. He also coached Estrela da Amadora, but the club was relegated to Liga de Honra in the 1990–91 season. Ferreira became famous when he took over at the Portugal under-21 national team, where he coached skilled players such as future senior squad star Maniche.
Ferreira arrived at Alverca in 2000–01, where he took the team to 12th place in the Primeira Liga. With good results, Ferreira then left for Benfica for the 2001–02 season. After a poor string of results, he was fired by Benfica president Luís Filipe Vieira after a losing a Taça de Portugal at home to third division side Gondomar. He was replaced by the Spanish manager José Antonio Camacho.
On 19 April 2003, Braga hired Ferreira to manage the team, then on the brink of relegation. He led Braga to a 14th-place finish, only two points above relegation zone. In the 2003–04, 2004–05 and 2005–06 seasons, Braga made fantastic league runs, and with players like João Tomás and Wender, they fought for the title in 2004–05. Braga reached fifth place (2003–04) and twice in fourth place (2004–05 and 2005–06).
