António Augusto Gomes de Sousa (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐ̃ˈtɔniu ˈsowzɐ]; born 28 April 1957) is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a central midfielder, and a current manager.
During his career he played, among others, for Porto and Sporting, amassing Primeira Liga totals of 483 games and 83 goals over the course of 18 seasons. Subsequently, he worked as a manager for several clubs.
Gaining nearly 30 caps for Portugal during the 80's, Sousa represented the nation in one World Cup and another European Championship, scoring in both tournaments.
Born in São João da Madeira, Sousa started professionally with local A.D. Sanjoanense at only 16, with his team in the second division. In 1975 he signed with S.C. Beira-Mar, scoring a career-best 15 goals in his third year as the Aveiro club returned to the Primeira Liga (three of his four seasons there were spent in the top level).
Sousa was then bought by FC Porto, where he remained an undisputed starter: he won the league championship and the cup several times, also scoring against Juventus F.C. in the 1984 European Cup Winners' Cup Final, lost 1–2 in Basel.
