he left by his own accord the following January. He returned to Moreirense in February as their third manager of the season, and left again after keeping them up. Petit was appointed manager of C.S. Marítimo on 27 November 2018, on a contract lasting until the end of the campaign. He left the Madeiran club at its conclusion, as it did not exercise the option of another year. On 15 January 2020, Petit was hired by his sixth Portuguese top-division side, becoming the third coach of Belenenses SAD's campaign as they were one point above the relegation zone. He reached the quarter-finals of the Taça de Portugal in his one complete season, being eliminated 3–0 at Benfica. On 19 October 2021, having needed a goal in the last minute of extra time to defeat minnows Berço SC in the cup, he resigned with eight months of his contract remaining; the team had earned four points and no wins in the first eight games of the league campaign. Petit returned to Boavista on 2 December 2021, on a deal until 2023. Two weeks later, he took the club to the Taça da Liga semi-finals for the first time following a 5–1 home rout of S.C. Braga.
