Armando Evangelista Macedo Freitas (born 3 November 1973) is a Portuguese football manager and former player who played as a defensive midfielder.
Career
=Vitória Guimarães=
In the summer of 2010, three seasons after finishing his professional career as a player, Evangelista embarked on his managerial career by taking charge of Vitória S.C.'s under-19 team. After two seasons there, he departed to take charge of F.C. Vizela in the third tier.
Evangelista's stay with Vizela was short-lived, and in April 2013 he returned to Vitória to manage its reserve side in Segunda Liga until the end of the season.{{cite web|url=http://www.record.xl.pt/Futebol/Nacional/liga_honra/guimaraes_b/interior.aspx?content_id=815181 |title=Armando Evangelista confirmado |trans-title=Armando Evangelista confirmed |date=9 April 2013 |work=Record |accessdate=12 April 2013 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130512064625/http://www.record.xl.pt/Futebol/Nacional/liga_honra/guimaraes_b/interior.aspx?content_id=815181 |archivedate=12 May 2013 }} Despite claiming 9 points from a possible 21, he was unable to prevent relegation to the third tier.{{cite web|title=Segunda Liga 2012/2013|trans-title=Second League 2012/2013|url=http://www.zerozero.pt/edition.php?op=&id_edicao=47495|publisher=ZeroZero|language=Portuguese|date=|accessdate=10 July 2015}}
However, Evangelista's stay was prolonged and in 2013–14 season he led the Conquistadores to a first-place finish, and thus promotion back to the second tier.{{cite web|title=Campeonato Nacional Seniores Série B 13/14|trans-title=National Championship Seniors Série B 13/14|url=http://www.zerozero.pt/edition.php?id_edicao=59606|publisher=ZeroZero|language=Portuguese|date=|accessdate=10 July 2015}}{{cite web|title=Camp.
