João Pedro Sousa on the verge of Petro de Luanda exit after Champions League defeat

Petro de Luanda head coach João Pedro Sousa is on the verge of leaving the Angolan club following their 2-0 defeat by Zimbabwean side Scottland FC in the CAF Champions League.

The Portuguese-Angolan coach faces an uncertain future after Petro suffered the away defeat in the second round of the competition’s preliminary stage, a result that has put his position under scrutiny.

A crucial meeting is expected to take place when the team returns from Zimbabwe, with Sousa and the club’s management set to discuss the terms of his potential departure.

The meeting is expected to determine the next steps, as both parties look towards reaching an agreement on the circumstances of his exit.

Petro, one of Angola’s leading clubs and regular participants in African club competitions, will be keen to resolve the situation as they assess their campaign following the setback against Scottland FC.

The defeat has increased uncertainty surrounding Sousa’s position, with the club now facing an important decision about the leadership of the team as the continental competition progresses.

Although no official announcement has been made regarding his departure, the anticipated meeting could prove decisive in determining whether the coach continues in his role.

Sousa’s future is therefore expected to become clearer once the team returns from Zimbabwe and discussions with the club’s hierarchy take place.
