Playing career
editClub
editVinha was born in Oliveira de Frades, Viseu District. He reached Académica de Coimbra's youth system at the age of 13, going on to represent that side,[1][2] Estrela da Amadora,[3] Olhanense[4][5][6] and Gil Vicente in the Primeira Liga,[7] and appeared for Aves,[8] Beira-Mar[9] and Famalicão in the Segunda Liga.
In the 2009–10 season, Vinha competed in the Cypriot First Division with Nea Salamis Famagusta.[10] In June 2010, he considered the possibility of taking the club to court due to unpaid wages.[11]
International
editVinha won 14 caps for Portugal across all youth levels. His only appearance for the under-21 team occurred on 19 August 2008, as he played the full 90 minutes in a 2–3 friendly home loss against the Czech Republic.[12][13]
Coaching career
editOn 7 October 2018, Vinha served as interim manager at his former club Académica after Carlos Pinto had been fired the day before a second-tier match against Estoril.[14] Three days later, João Alves, their seventh coach in less than 18 months, was hired.
In December 2020, Vinha joined Luís Freire's staff at C.D. Nacional after having started the season at Académica's under-19s.[15]
