Mauro Alexandre Tavares Jerónimo (born 27 September 1987) is a Portuguese professional football manager who is the head coach of Super League club Borneo Samarinda.

Managerial career

Jerónimo began his coaching career at the Benfica youth academy, coaching the under-13s and under-15s. He later joined the under-19 coaching staff at Vitória Setubal. This was followed by a spell at Pinhalnovense as assistant coach, gaining his first experience in professional senior football.[2]

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 under-19 national team. Later he joined PVF in Vietnam in 2018, where he led their U-19 team to win the National U-19 Championship in 2020 and 2021.[3]

PVF-CAND

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 in two decades.[4]

Nam Định

On 14 November 2025, Jerónimo was appointed as the head coach of V.League 1 team Thép Xanh Nam Định, signing a two-year contract with the team.[5]

During this period, the Portuguese coach led the club to qualification for the semi-finals of the ASEAN Club Championship, finishing the group stage in first place and undefeated.[6]

Jerónimo also left his mark in the club's record books by achieving Nam Định's biggest victory ever, defeating Eastern 9–0 in the AFC Champions League 2.[7]

In February, he left the club by mutual agreement with the board.[8]
