In 2013, after one season as Hernán Lisi's assistant at Unión Temuco, Soso rejoined Vivas' staff at Sporting Cristal.[2] He remained at the club even after Vivas' departure, being Daniel Ahmed's assistant as the club lifted the 2014 Torneo Descentralizado.

On 19 December 2016, a day after winning the league title, Soso resigned from Cristal.[6] The following 26 June, he was presented at Gimnasia La Plata,[7] but decided to leave the club on 28 December.[8]

On 22 May 2018, after nearly six months without a club, Soso took over Ecuadorian Serie A side Emelec.[9] He announced his departure from the club on 14 April of the following year,[10] and was appointed at the helm of Defensa y Justicia on 5 June 2019.[11] He left the club in mid-January 2020.[12]

On 16 March 2020, Soso was appointed manager at San Lorenzo.[13] He resigned the following 11 January,[14] and was named in charge of Chilean side O'Higgins on 10 December 2021.[15]

Soso left O'Higgins on a mutual agreement on 7 November 2022,[16] and was appointed Melgar manager the following 14 March.[17] He also left the latter side by the same manners on 21 November 2023.[18]

On 5 December 2023, Sosa was hired by the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B team Sport Recife.[19] On 7 April 2024, Sosa led the team to win the Campeonato Pernambucano title, defeating the rival Náutico[20] in the final, and became the first foreign coach to win this championship for Sport Recife in 66 years.[21]
