Managerial career

Jerónimo's first international role was in China, as head coach of Fujian Chaoyue, a Fujian Super League team. He was then appointed as the head coach of Chinese Taipei U-19 national team. Later he joined the PVF Football Academy in Vietnam in 2018, where he led their U-19 team to win the National U-19 Championship in 2020 and 2021.[3]

In 2022, Jerónimo was appointed head coach of PVF's senior team Phố Hiến (later renamed to PVF-CAND), which competed in the V.League 2. Under his guidance, PVF-CAND finished runners-up in the 2023 and 2023–24 V.League 2, both times missing out promotion to the V.League 1. He also led PVF-CAND to the 2023–24 Vietnamese Cup semi-finals, being the first second-tier team to achieve that after two decades.[4]
