Playing career[edit]

Portugal[edit]
Born in Viseu, Sousa started playing professionally for S.L. Benfica, being a starter from an early age, winning the national championship in 1991 and the domestic cup two seasons later.[2]
Later that summer, Sousa signed, together with teammate António Pacheco, for Lisbon neighbours Sporting Clube de Portugal. After a single season where he partnered Luís Figo and Bulgarian Krassimir Balakov in midfield, as the Lions came out empty in silverware, he moved to Juventus FC.
Abroad[edit]
Sousa played for the Turin side for two seasons, leading it to the 1995–96 UEFA Champions League title.[2] He also won the previous year's Serie A, adding that year the domestic cup and supercups, also finishing as runner-up in the UEFA Cup.
Sousa then moved to Germany to play for Borussia Dortmund, where he repeated the Champions League triumph the following season.[2] The final was incidentally against his former side, Juventus. Although he appeared in that game, his Dortmund spell was plagued with injuries, which followed him the remainder of his career.
Sousa moved from Dortmund back to Italy to play for Inter Milan, and eventually retired in the 2002 summer at the age of 31, after playing briefly for Parma FC (loan),[3] Panathinaikos F.C. and RCD Espanyol.[2]
International career[edit]
A member of the Portugal squad that won the 1989 FIFA World Youth Championship,[4] Sousa went on to earn 51 caps for the senior national team,[2] his international debut coming on 16 January 1991, in a 1–1 friendly against Spain.
He played for his country at UEFA Euro 1996 and 2000, and was a squad member at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, but did not play a single match. His last appearance came shortly before the latter competition, a 2–0 friendly win over China.
Managerial career[edit]

Portuguese national team[edit]
Sousa began his coaching career by joining the coaching staff of the Portuguese national team, taking the helm of the under-15s, and in the summer of 2008 was appointed assistant to first-team coach Carlos Queiroz, his former coach at Sporting and the Portuguese youths.
Queens Park Rangers[edit]
On 19 November 2008, Sousa was appointed head coach of Championship team Queens Park Rangers.[5] However, on 9 April 2009, he was sacked, as the club claimed he had divulged sensitive information without permission from the club hierarchy, namely Dexter Blackstock's loan move to Nottingham Forest having been agreed without his knowledge.[6]
Swansea City[edit]
Following Roberto Martínez's move to Wigan Athletic, Sousa was offered the role as Swansea City manager on 18 June 2009.[7] He verbally accepted the deal, signing a three-year contract, and was officially appointed on the 23rd.[8]
During the league campaign, Sousa led Swansea to its highest league finish for 27 years (7th), just outside the play-offs.[9] On 4 July 2010 he departed the club by mutual consent, set to take the vacant managerial post at Leicester City.[10]
Leicester City[edit]
On 7 July 2010, Sousa became the new manager of Leicester City. Club owner Milan Mandarić stated that he was delighted to "acquire a manager of such great calibre", adding he was "the right man to take our club forward".[11]
On 1 October, after less than three months in charge, Sousa was fired by Leicester, after a poor start to the season, with the team having won only once in his first nine league games.[12]
Videoton[edit]
On 15 May 2011, Sousa signed a three-year contract with newly-crowned Hungarian champions Videoton FC.[13] He made his official debut in the Champions League qualifying round against Austria's SK Sturm Graz, in a 0–2 away loss,[14] followed by an insufficient 3–2 home win.[15]
On 30 August 2012, the day of his 42nd birthday, Videoton hosted Trabzonspor for the season's Europa League last qualifying round. After the 4–2 penalty shootout win (0–0 after 120 minutes), he stated: "The qualification was the most beautiful birthday of my life".[16]
On 7 January 2013, Videoton announced that they had agreed to terminate Sousa's contract due to family reasons.[17] That same day, it was reported that he would become the new manager of the New York Red Bulls,[18] but nothing came of it.
Maccabi Tel Aviv[edit]
On 12 June 2013, Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C. officially appointed Sousa as its head coach.[19]

Why

 

[Bladders]

Why

cause the rest of us have never heard or know how to use Wikipedia.

 

[Stoo82]

Why

Question of the day.

 

[Jbanged]

I teach Jordi Cruffs son and this last week Jordi himself has been coming to pick his son up each day. Tomorrow I will ask him what he knows about this.

 

[Jbanged]

So, he told me today that he wanted Paolo Sousa and had been trying to keep it under the radar so he could get him on the cheap. Now it's not going to happen for him. I also asked about óscar, he didn't say too much about him. Only that he is good friends with him and hopes the best for him.
