After another managerial jobs in the same state, Sodré worked exclusively as Estevam Soares' assistant, only stepping out of his role to manage CRB in 2006 and Sport Barueri in 2010.[2] In 2012, he returned to Lusa and its youth setup, being appointed assistant of the main squad in the following year.[3]
