Pinto remained in the second division, at Associação Académica de Coimbra, whom he left on 1 October 2018 by mutual consent after being ousted from the Portuguese Cup by amateurs Juventude de Pedras Salgadas.[5] The following 18 March he was appointed at F.C. Famalicão of the same league,[6] and he won seven of their last eight games to earn promotion.[7]

On 24 May 2019, it was confirmed that Pinto would take charge of second-tier Leixões S.C. for the upcoming campaign.[8] He resigned the following 18 January, after a run of eight matches without a win left the team in ninth place.[9]

On 10 July 2022, Pinto was appointed at Saudi First Division League club Al-Jabalain FC.[12] He was dismissed on 20 October due to poor results.[13]
