Jorge Silva Vieira (born July 18, 1934 , † July 24, 2012 in Rio de Janeiro ) was a Brazilian football coach who worked on various continents .

The former right wing striker of the Madureira EC in Rio had his first coaching position back in 1958, when he sat on the bench for a short time at Rio's top club Fluminense . Due to his relative youth, he was only 24 years old at the time, he still lacked the gravitas to assert himself sustainably. Under his successor, the renowned Zezé Moreira , he remained in the coaching staff for the time being.

In 1960 he led America FC to the state championship - the club's seventh and last to date. In the decisive game on the last day of the match, in front of 100,000 spectators at the Maracanã , America beat the championship leaders, who were still coached by their former teacher, Fluminense, 2-1. Stars of the team were the later 21-time international Djalma Dias , who caused the 0-1 penalty in this game, and right-winger Jorge de Souza "Jorge" , who scored the winner twelve minutes before the end of the game.

In the 1965/66 season he coached the Lisbon club Belenenses . In the 1970s he coached Botafogo FC from Ribeirão Preto , a city in the hinterland of the state of São Paulo with a population of over 200,000 at the time . With its then exceptional team, from which the world star Sócrates emerged , the club rose to the first state league for the first time in 21 years in 1976. In 1977 he even won the first phase of the São Paulo state championship there , for which the Taça Cidade de São Paulo was awarded, the “Cup of the City of São Paulo”.

Later in the year he took over responsibility for SE Palmeiras in the state capital , where he remained until 1978. In three different phases - 1979 to 1980, 1983 to 1984 and from 1986 to 1987 - he trained his arch-rival Corinthians Paulista with whom he practically trained the fate of the club - in the second year of the "Democracy of Corinthians", as a player for the aforementioned Sócrates took in hand - the state championship of 1979 and 1983.

In 1985 he coached the national team of Iraq, which under his leadership qualified for a soccer world championship for the only time so far, although they had to play all home games on a neutral pitch due to the ongoing Gulf War . At the 1986 tournament in Mexico , however, his compatriot Evaristo de Macedo sat on the bench.

After his third phase with the Corinthians, he moved to the top Mexican club Club América , which he coached from 1987 to 1990 and with which he won the national championship in 1988 and 1989 .

In January 2007 he again took over the coaching position at his heart club America in Rio de Janeiro . On July 24, 2012, he died of a heart attack in his hometown of Rio de Janeiro.
