Vítor Manuel de Oliveira Lopes Pereira (born 26 July 1968) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a midfielder and current manager of German club 1860 Munich.

Born in Espinho, Pereira only played amateur football, and retired at the age of 28. He started managing on junior level, and his first head coach experience arrived midway through the 2004–05 season, when he was appointed at A.D. Sanjoanense in the third division.

Subsequently, Pereira worked with S.C. Espinho in the same level, being fired with ten games left in his second campaign and returning to FC Porto's juniors for a further season. In 2008, he returned to head coaching again, with C.D. Santa Clara in division two, leading the Azores side to the third position in his first year and the fourth in the second, on both occasions narrowly missing out on Primeira Liga promotion.

In the summer of 2010, Pereira left Santa Clara to become assistant manager to André Villas-Boas at Porto. On 21 June 2011, following the head coach's departure to Chelsea, he was promoted to first-team manager, winning his first official match – and title – against Vitória de Guimarães, for the season's Portuguese Supercup.

Despite a less than stellar performance both in Europe – with Porto being knocked out of the UEFA Champions League in the group stage and in the UEFA Europa League round-of-32 – and in the Portuguese Cup, Pereira lead the club to the league title in his first season in charge.
