José Manuel Ferreira de Morais (born 27 July 1965) is a Portuguese professional football coach and former player, currently managing Emirati UAE Pro League club Sharjah.
Morais arrived at Inter Milan in July 2009 to replace the departing André Villas-Boas, who took the head coaching position with Académica de Coimbra. Hired by fellow countryman José Mourinho, the two reportedly first met at Benfica in 2000.
After head coach Mourinho terminated his contract with Inter, Morais followed Mourinho to Real Madrid in June 2010. He later followed Mourinho to Chelsea in June 2013. He has since managed clubs across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, winning two K League 1 titles with Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in South Korea.
