==Career==

===Playing career===
Vieira was born in [[Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro|Duque de Caxias]], [[Rio de Janeiro (state)|Rio de Janeiro state]], [[Brazil]]. He began his professional football career after studying [[Sports Medicine]] for four years, playing for top Brazilian clubs [[Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama|Vasco da Gama]], [[Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas|Botafogo]] and [[Associação Portuguesa de Desportos|Portuguesa]] in the 1970s.<ref name="theworldgame.com.au">{{cite web |url=http://www.theworldgame.com.au/home/index.php?pid=st&cid=92700 |title=The World Game |access-date=July 31, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011085148/http://www.theworldgame.com.au/home/index.php?pid=st&cid=92700 |archive-date=October 11, 2007 }}</ref>

===Coaching career===
Vieira was appointed assistant manager to the [[Morocco national football team|Moroccan national]] side for the [[1986 FIFA World Cup]] in Mexico. Alongside compatriot [[José Faria]] he led Morocco into the second round of the tournament as group winners ahead of England, Portugal and Poland,<ref>[http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2007/8/1/sports/18460383&sec=sports] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100711092732/http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=%2F2007%2F8%2F1%2Fsports%2F18460383&sec=sports |date=July 11, 2010 }} The Star Online</ref>

He then managed the [[Kuwait national football team|Kuwait]] under-20 side<ref name="soccerblog.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.soccerblog.com/2007/07/jorvan_vieira_iraqs_coach_and.htm |title=SoccerBlog.com: Jorvan Vieira: Iraq's coach and an ambassador of peace |access-date=August 2, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928015448/http://www.soccerblog.com/2007/07/jorvan_vieira_iraqs_coach_and.htm |archive-date=September 28, 2007 }} Soccerblog Profile</ref> before having an impressive spell and leading [[Al Qadisiya Kuwait|Al Qadisiya]] to the Kuwaiti league title, which was followed by further success when he was in charge of Egyptian club [[Al-Ismaili]] in 2001. Vieira was re-appointed as the coach of the Oman Under-20 side in the same year. After spending a year in the job, Vieira went on to coach the [[Malaysia national football team|Malaysia]]  Under-20 side before returning to Oman, where he led [[Al-Nasr SC (Salalah)|Al-Nasr Salalah]] to the Sultan Qaboos Cup, and was manager of [[Al-Ta'ee]] in Saudi Arabia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.afcasiancup.com/en/tournament/teams.asp?cid%3D1373%26sqid%3D950%26tbl%3DY |title=The AFC Asian Cup 2007 Official Website |access-date=July 14, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070716161132/http://www.afcasiancup.com/en/tournament/teams.asp?cid=1373&sqid=950&tbl=Y |archive-date=July 16, 2007 }} AFC Asian Cup Official Website</ref>

On 26 December 2007 it was officially announced that Vieira signed a one-year contract with [[Mes Kerman F.C.]] in the [[Iran Pro League]] for an approximate fee of $640,000.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.persianleague.com/news/Morenews.cfm?News=3728 |title=Mes Officials Begin Negotiations, Former Iraqi NT Head Coach in Kerman with 600 Mil |work=persianleague.com |access-date=December 26, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071231132819/http://www.persianleague.com/news/Morenews.cfm?News=3728 |archive-date=December 31, 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Yet a few days later on 29 December the deal fell through due to financial reasons.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theworldgame.com.au/asia/index.php?pid=st&cid=102914|title=Vieira parts company with Mes|work=theworldgame.com.au|access-date=December 29, 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110815123228/http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/asia/index.php?pid=st&cid=102914|archive-date=August 15, 2011|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

In October 2018 Jorvan Viera was named coach of Ismaily from Egypt. After a string of poor results sitting in the bottom of the league and getting knocked out of the [[2018-19 Arab Club Champions Cup]] at the expense of [[Raja Casablanca]] on penalty's 4-2 he resigned on 13 December 2018, after only 2 months at the club.

== Asian Cup success ==
Less than two months ahead of the [[2007 AFC Asian Cup]] finals Vieira was named coach of war-torn [[Iraq national football team|Iraq]]. He led them all the way to the final of the [[2007 West Asian Football Federation Championship|2007 WAFF Championship]] but finished as runners-up after losing 1–2 in the final against [[Iran national football team|Iran]]. After this tournament, Iraq played in the Asian Cup. Incredibly, he led [[Iraq national football team|Iraq]] to the [[2007 Asian Cup]] title after stunning the pre-tournament favourites [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]] in a 3–1 victory,<ref>[http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,22071416-1702,00.html] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071210090644/http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,22071416-1702,00.html |date=December 10, 2007 }} The Australian Newspaper</ref> edging [[Korea Republic national football team|Korea]] on penalties<ref>[http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/07/25/sports/AS-SPT-SOC-South-Korea-Iraq.php] The International Herald Tribune Newspaper</ref> and finally upsetting regional heavyweights [[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]] 1–0 in the final.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/6920434.stm] BBC Sports News</ref>

==Personal life==
* Jorvan Vieira is a [[Muslim]].

* He can speak 7 languages, including [[Arabic]].<ref name="soccerblog.com"/>
* He holds a doctorate in sports sciences from France.<ref name="soccerblog.com"/>
