After 12 years at the Estádio 1º de Maio, the 33-year-old Artur Jorge retired at the end of the 2004–05 season with newly promoted F.C. Penafiel, contributing only 90 minutes to the team's midtable finish.[2][3]

In early 2012, it was announced that Braga's reserve side would be revived and compete in the Segunda Liga as of the upcoming campaign. Shortly after, Artur Jorge was named head coach,[5] but he quit after only four months in charge.[6][7]

In July 2013, Artur Jorge was appointed at F.C. Tirsense.[8] He returned to Braga's youths in 2017, and became first-team boss on 1 July 2020 when Custódio resigned with five games left of the season.[9] He secured third place with a 2–1 victory on the final day over champions FC Porto, and was named in charge of the under-23 side shortly after.[10]
