Heads up, Benfica! João Pedro Sousa tipped to take charge at AVS | OneFootball

João Pedro Sousa is the name suggested by the AVS board to replace José Mota, who was dismissed in the last round of the Betclic Portugal League. The Aves emblem, which continues to prepare for the reception of Benfica on September 20, is not expected to have the coach this week.

The Record newspaper writes in this afternoon's edition that AVS, still without a coach, has already begun to evaluate several names, one of them being João Pedro Sousa. However, the same source indicates that this will be a process that will not be completed this week, therefore, there will not be a new coach for the clash with the Club of Light.

The Record suggests that the profile of the coach - who has been without a club since the beginning of this year, after leaving Al Baniyas - is to the liking of those responsible for managing the Vila das Aves club. On the other hand, his vast experience, both in national and international football, is an asset that plays in his favor.

João Pedro Sousa's last stint in Portuguese football occurred between 2022/23 and 2023/24, in what was the coach's second life at Famalicão, a club he had already represented between 2019/20 and 2020/21. In between, there was a brief experience at Boavista.

the club has found a temporary solution to the absence of a main coach. The game is scheduled for September 20.
