Pedro Miguel Faria Caixinha (born 15 November 1970 in Beja) is a Portuguese football manager, who is presently the manager of Scottish Premiership club Rangers. After a brief playing career as a goalkeeper, Caixinha started coaching in his late twenties, becoming an assistant coach with Sporting CP, Al-Hilal, Panathinaikos, Rapid București and the Saudi Arabia national team. He first became a manager with União Leiria in 2011, then managed Nacional for a year. He has since also worked as a manager in Mexico with Santos Laguna and Qatar with Al-Gharafa.
After an unassuming career as a player, Caixinha started managing in his late twenties, his first appointment being with his last club, hometown's C.D. Beja, where he was in charge of his youth sides for four years. In 2003 he moved to the seniors with amateurs Clube de Futebol Vasco da Gama, in neighbouring Vidigueira.
After that sole season, Caixinha started a professional relationship with José Peseiro that would last until the end of the decade, with the former acting as assistant to the latter in several clubs – mainly Sporting Clube de Portugal – and the Saudi Arabia national team. In the 2010–11 season he returned to head coaching duties and made his Primeira Liga debuts, leading U.D. Leiria to the tenth position.
