Jorge António Pinto do Couto CvIH (born 1 July 1970) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a right winger.

He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 287 matches and 27 goals over 14 seasons, representing in the competition Porto and Boavista and winning 13 major titles between both clubs.

From 2015 he worked as a coach, in different roles at Boavista.

Playing career[edit]

Club[edit]

Couto was born in Argoncilhe, Santa Maria da Feira. During his career he played professionally for FC Porto, Gil Vicente FC (on loan from his alma mater) and Boavista FC.[1][2] With the first club he was used regularly in his early years, mainly from the bench but was a fringe player subsequently.

With Boavista from 1996 until his retirement, Couto had his best years, helping to the side's Primeira Liga and European consolidation although he was already slowing down as they won their only first division title in 2001, being barred by younger Martelinho but still contributing 17 matches and three goals to the feat.[3]

International[edit]

Couto scored one of the two goals for the Portugal under-20 team in the 2–0 final win against Nigeria, as the nation won the first of its two consecutive FIFA U-20 World Cups.[4]

He won six capsatfull international level, mostly while at Porto, the first arriving at age 20.[2] He was not related to club and national teammate Fernando Couto.

Coaching career[edit]

In July 2015, Couto returned to Boavista as assistant to former teammate and new coach Petit.[5] Two years later, he was put in charge of the Estádio do Bessa club's new reserve team.

Couto became caretaker manager of the first team on 26 January 2019 after the dismissal of Jorge Simão.[6] In his one game three days later, the team lost 5–1 at S.L. Benfica before Lito Vidigal was installed.[7]

Having already been suspended for ten days and fined €1,913 by the Portuguese Football Federation in October 2016 for insulting the refereeing team,[8] Couto was suspended for 15 days and fined €3,507 in April 2021 by the same body for the same offence.[9] In December 2023, he went back into interim charge after Petit's resignation, and drew 1–1 on his debut at home to Vitória de Guimarães;[10] following Ricardo Paiva's appointment later that month, he returned to assistant duties.[11]
