Club career

Jorge Pinto started his career with Salgueiros, playing for the Porto-based club in the Primeira Liga. In 2001–02, he played for Oliveirense.

Pinto ended his professional career with Infesta.

Coaching career

After starting his coaching with Infesta, Jorge Pinto came back to Salgueiros as a manager in 2019, guiding the team back to National competitions with a promotion to the fourth-tier Campeonato de Portugal. Despite ambitions to either move up to Liga Portugal 2 or Liga 3, the club struggled and a three-match losing streak lead to Pinto's dismissal in January 2021.

After spending 2021-22 season at Amarante, Pinto joined Lusitânia Lourosa in 2022-23, leading the Leões to third-tier Liga 3 promotion. In the next season, he lead Lourosa to the Promotion playoff for Liga Portugal 2, losing to rival neighbors Feirense.

Pinto was announced as the new manager of Liga 3 side Fafe for the 2024–25 season on 13 June 2024. He guided Fafe to the 3rd place during regular phase, however, a string of poor results during Promotion stage led to Pinto's dismissal on 8 April 2025.

Jorge Pinto returned in 2025-26 as a manager to Oliveirense. Pinto made his managerial debut at second-tier Liga Portugal 2 with a draw against Farense. After a string of results that lead to fan protests, Pinto was dismissed in January from his position.

Pinto was hired by Amarante to return as manager and lead the club to its first participation in 37 years in the second-tier Liga Portugal 2.
