Jorge António Rosa Casquilha (born 13 January 1969) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as an attacking midfielder, and the current manager of C.F. União.
Born in Torres Novas, Santarém District, Casquilha played 19 years as a senior. He started out at local Clube Desportivo Torres Novas, then alternated between the second and third divisions in the following seasons.
Casquilha made his debut in the Primeira Liga in the 1999–2000 campaign, aged already 30: alongside future S.L. Benfica and Portugal star Petit, he was an essential midfield unit for Gil Vicente F.C. who finished a best-ever fifth position, scoring three goals in 32 games.
After helping the Barcelos club always retain its league status, and having amassed totals in the Portuguese top flight of 177 matches and 11 goals, 36-year-old Casquilha left and signed for S.C. Espinho in the third level, following which he retired.
Casquilha began coaching in 2006, immediately after retiring. He started with amateurs Santa Maria FC, which he guided to the second place in the AF Braga regional championships. In quick succession, he then worked with Merelinense F.C. and C.A. Valdevez, guiding the latter to the last 16 in the Taça de Portugal in 2007–08.
