João Pedro Ramos Borges Sousa (born 4 August 1971) is a Portuguese former footballer who played as a forward, and a current manager.

Coaching career

Sousa was the long-term assistant manager of Marco Silva from 2012 to 2019, who was his former teammate at Trofense. He was the assistant manager to Silva at Primeira Liga clubs Estoril and Sporting, as well as Olympiacos of Super League Greece and English Premier League trio Hull City, Watford, and Everton.[2][3]

Sousa became the coach of Famalicão on 31 May 2019, signing a two-year deal at a team who had just achieved promotion to the Primeira Liga for the first time in 25 years.[4] In the first month of the season, he was voted Manager of the Month for winning three and drawing one of the four fixtures.[5] He retained the honour for September with the team from Vila Nova de Famalicão still unbeaten; he earned 56.16% of the votes.[6]

Sousa's team spent much of 2019–20 in contention for European qualification, but missed out to Rio Ave on the last day.[7] He was dismissed on 31 January 2021, with Famalicão one place above relegation.[8]
