Managerial career

After leading Académico de Viseu to a mid-table finish in the 2013–14 season, Chéu was appointed in May 2014 as the new coach of Penafiel. Following three defeats in the first four games of the 2014–15 season, Chéu reached a mutual agreement to leave Penafiel.
In November 2014, two months after departing from Penafiel, Chéu returned to management by returning to former side Académico de Viseu. In his second stint with the Viriatos, Chéu led the Viseu to a twelfth-place finish. The following season, the 2015–16 season, saw Chéu depart during the halfway stage of the season after a string of poor results. He then worked for Freamunde.
In July 2018 he moved to Italy, accepting the role of head coach of newly-promoted Serie C club Rieti.
He resigned on 30 December 2018 following a club's change of ownership. On 9 January 2019 he was named new head coach of Slovak club FK Senica.
