Summary
For the latest Ramble Meets... Andy Brassell drops in on Bordeaux head coach Paulo Sousa to discuss both his storied playing career and his nomadic journey through top-level coaching.
Speaking exclusively to us at the club's training centre in Le Haillan, Sousa explains how Sven-Göran Eriksson helped turn a shy boy from provincial Portugal into a midfield maestro, tells us about finding a spiritual home in Italian football, how his experiences in England shaped his philosophy and how he plans to bring the good times back to Bordeaux.
