The Portuguese replaces Gary O’Neil, who led Strasbourg to an eighth-place finish in Ligue 1 and the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League before returning to England to join Ipswich Town.
Oliveira arrives from Portuguese top-flight side Famalicao, where he guided the club to a fifth-placed finish in the 2025-26 season.
Before taking charge at Famalicao, Oliveira spent seven years in the Premier League as a member of Marco Silva’s coaching staff at Fulham, Everton, Hull City and Watford.
