João Miguel da Cunha Teixeira (born 19 August 1981), known as Moreno, is a Portuguese retired footballer who played mainly as a defensive midfielder, currently a manager.
On 6 August 2010, Moreno signed a two-year contract with Football League Championship club Leicester City,[3] joining compatriots Miguel Vítor and Paulo Sousa (manager).
[11] On 7 June 2017, already a fringe player but considered an "invaluable locker room presence" by coach Pedro Martins,[12] the 35-year-old captain renewed his contract for one season.
[16] Having spent the 2021–22 season back in charge of the second team in Liga 3, Moreno returned to the main job at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques on 12 July when Pepa was dismissed days before the new campaign was due to begin.
[17] He won three games and drew the other in February 2023, earning the league's Manager of the Month award, though it was given in the name of his assistant João Aroso as he was technically unqualified to work in the top division.
[20] He debuted three days later by earning their first point in the sixth fixture, 2–2 at home to Estrela via a Pedro Pinho equaliser in the fourth minute of added time.
