Manuel António Marques Machado (born 4 December 1955) is a Portuguese football manager.
Born in the village of Oliveira, in Guimarães, Machado started his career with his local Vitória de Guimarães' youth sides, having a head coach spell with lowly SC Vila Real in between. After two years with another modest club in the north, A.D. Fafe, he moved to another side in his region, Moreirense FC, helping the latter promote from the third division to the Primeira Liga in just two years.
Machado then coached Moreirense to a comfortable 12th position in their debut season, finishing ninth in the following campaign, after which he returned to Guimarães. Subsequently he signed with C.D. Nacional, helping the Madeirans finish a best-ever fifth, with qualification to the UEFA Cup. After almost two years at Académica de Coimbra he joined S.C. Braga, where he did not meet the expectations of a UEFA Cup place, thus being sacked.
Machado rejoined Nacional for 2008–09, bettering the club's best-ever finish as fourth. However, on 13 December 2009, he announced he would leave the benches for a period, after surgery-related complications; he was replaced by assistant Predrag Jokanović, and eventually left his post at the end of the campaign, replaced by precisely the Serbian.
