Coaching career
Assistant
Sousa first met the Portuguese coach André Villas-Boas when the former was a student at the University of Porto, in the Faculty of Sports. He interviewed Villas-Boas about strategies for attacking football as part of his final-year thesis, and was later recommended to the young manager by professor of football José Guilherme, who was Villas-Boas' assistant at Académica.[1] Sousa was Villas-Boas' match analyst at Académica, Porto, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Zenit Saint Petersburg, and assistant manager at Zenit Shanghai Port and Marseille spanning 10 years of service.[2][3]
Gil Vicente
On 16 November 2022, Sousa was named in his first managerial job, at his hometown club Gil Vicente FC. He replaced Ivo Vieira at the 16th-placed team.[4] His debut four days later was a 2–2 draw at S.C. Covilhã in the Taça da Liga group stage;[5] by winning the two other games they made the quarter-finals and lost 2–0 to eventual winners Porto.[6]
Sousa's first Primeira Liga game was a 1–0 home win over C.D. Santa Clara on 29 December 2022.[7] The following 26 February, he won 2–1 away to Porto, one of only three losses over the season for the opponents and of two at the Estádio do Dragão.[8] After a 13th-placed finish, he left on 26 June 2023 as the club president wanted a different manager.[9]
