Os Belenenses and Leixões. Early into 2007–08 he replaced fired Paulo Duarte at the helm of Leiria, but only managed to lead his side to three wins in his 21 games in charge (14 losses) as the season ended in top flight relegation.

After working with former club Leixões as director of football in 2008–09, Oliveira resumed his career in the second division, with C.D. Trofense, C.D. Aves, F.C. Arouca and Moreirense FC. He achieved several promotions during his career.
