Jorge Manuel da Silva Paixão Santos (born 19 December 1965), known as Paixão, is a Portuguese former footballer who played as a striker, and the current manager of C.D. Mafra.

Playing career

Born in Almada, Setúbal District, Paixão's 11-year professional career was all but spent in the Portuguese second and third divisions, representing Amora FC (two spells), União de Coimbra, Louletano D.C. and GD Bragança.

The exception to this occurred in the 1985–86 season, when he appeared three times as a substitute for Académica de Coimbra in the Primeira Liga.[1] He retired in June 1995 at the age of 29, after a spell with amateurs Atlético Clube da Malveira.

Managerial career

Paixão started working as a manager in 2001, his first head coaching experience arriving late into the following year with Almada A.C. in the Setúbal Football Association. In the next ten years, he never coached in higher than the third level, also having spells in Angola with C.R. Caála and Qatar with Al-Mesaimeer Sports Club.

In September 2013, Paixão was appointed at second tier side S.C. Farense.[2] In March of the following year he first reached the top flight, leading S.C. Braga to the ninth position – the club's worst finish in 11 years – after only winning two of his ten league games[3][4] and also being defeated by Rio Ave F.C. in the semi-finals of the Taça de Portugal.[5]

On 14 May 2014, Braga announced that Paixão's contract would not be renewed.[6] On 24 June, he signed for Polish team Zawisza Bydgoszcz.[7]
