Sousa promote Showman from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Showman has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Fábio Mendes steps up from the Sousa academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Fábio Mendes has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Allan Dias stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Allan Dias and Sousa agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
In brief
- Squad 6 new faces, and Sousa are still learning each other
- The dugout Eduardo Farias has his say
- Player ratings Nothing got past Hebert Cristian
