José Maria Pedroto began his playing career at Leixões SC . During his military service he played for Lusitano FC VRSA . Due to his great talent, he then moved to Belenenses Lisbon , where he developed into one of the best midfielders in Portugal. On April 20, 1952, he made his debut in a friendly against France in the Portuguese national team . For the 1952/53 season he finally moved to FC Porto for a record transfer fee . As a leading player, he won the double with the club in the 1955/56 season. On December 22, 1957, he played his 17th and last international match during qualifying for the 1958 World Cup against Italy . In 1958 he won the cup again with Porto and in 1959 the championship again . In 1960 he ended his playing career at the age of 31.

After his playing career, Pedroto studied in France and received a coaching diploma there. After coaching the U19 juniors of FC Porto for two years, he took over the post of head coach at Académica de Coimbra in 1962 . After further stints at Leixões SC and Varzim SC , he was signed by his long-term club FC Porto in 1966 . There he celebrated the first title of his coaching career by winning the Cup in 1968 .

In 1969 Pedroto switched to Vitória Setúbal . There he achieved some of the best results in the club's history, including a second place in the 1971/72 season, a 1973 Cup final (2: 3 against Sporting Lisbon ) and four qualifications for the Exhibition Cities and UEFA Cup in a row. In 1974 he became national coach of Portugal and at the same time coach of Boavista Porto . At Boavista, he won two more cups in his two-year tenure. In 1976 he gave up both positions and returned to FC Porto. There he formed a successful duo with the functionary Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa . In 1977 he won the cup once again and in 1978 and 1979 the championship. After the missed championship in the 1979/80 season, he resigned from his post together with Pinto da Costa.
