*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Pedro Miguel Marques da Costa Filipe (born 14 December 1980), known as Pepa, is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a forward, currently a manager.

Formed at Benfica, where he made seven first-team appearances, he spent most of his career in his country's second tier, making 63 appearances and scoring 13 goals for three clubs. He also played on loan at Lierse in the Belgian top flight and earned 14 youth caps for Portugal.

Pepa began working as a manager in 2013, leading four Primeira Liga sides.

Playing career

Born in Torres Novas, Santarém District, Pepa joined S.L. Benfica's youth system in 1994, aged 13. He made his competitive debut with the main squad on 23 January 1999, scoring in a Primeira Liga 3–1 home win against Rio Ave FC.[1] After being touted as an early promise, he went on to appear mainly for the reserve team,[2] also being loaned in March 2000 to Lierse S.K. in Belgium[3] for a fee of 50 million Portuguese escudos.[4]

In 2002, Pepa terminated his contract with Benfica which had four years remaining, following in the footsteps of fellow youth graduates Rui Baião and Jorge Ribeiro and signing with Varzim SC, a decision he later claimed as the worst mistake in his life.[5] He ended his career in late 2007 at only 26, due to several knee injuries.[6][7]

Coaching career

In summer 2013, after two years working with Benfica's youth sides,[8] Pepa had his first head coaching experience, being appointed at A.D. Sanjoanense in the regional leagues[9] and helping the club to promote to the third division at the first attempt.[10] In 2015–16 he achieved the same feat with C.D. Feirense of the LigaPro, even though he did not finished the season after being replaced by José Mota for the final two months.[11]

Pepa continued to work in the Portuguese top tier in the following years, with Moreirense F.C.[12][13] and C.D. Tondela.[14] During his two-year stint at the latter he successfully avoided relegation, but was not retained.[15]

Having started the 2019–20 campaign without a club, Pepa replaced Filó at the helm of F.C. Paços de Ferreira after the fourth matchday, with the team last in the standings.[16] In May 2021, after having led them to the fifth place and qualification to the inaugural edition of the UEFA Europa Conference League, he left the Estádio da Mata Real.[17][18]

Days after leaving Paços, Pepa signed a three-year contract to manage Vitória de Guimarães.[19] He led the team to sixth place in his only season, but he and his coaching staff were dismissed on 12 July 2022, days before the new campaign was due to open against Puskás Akadémia FC in the UEFA Europa Conference League.[20]

On 19 July 2022, Pepa was handed his first foreign management job, at Al-Tai FC in the Saudi Professional League.[21] In January 2023, following a 1–0 defeat to Al Wehda FC, he was relieved of his duties.[22]
