Carlos Pouso

Career Born in Leioa, Basque Country, Pouso began working as a professional manager in 2000 with Arenas de Getxo.

On 17 June 2008, Pouso became coach of Segunda División club SD Eibar, being granted a one-year leave from his job in the shipbuilding industry in order to fully dedicate himself to his new line of work. He was sacked in March 2009 after a poor run of results, being replaced by Josu Uribe as the season ended in relegation.

Pouso returned to the third tier in late January 2010 when he was named manager of CD Guijuelo with the aim of avoiding relegation, which was eventually met. He signed with CD Mirandés in the same league on 1 June, leading them to division two for the first time in their history in his second year and reaching the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey in the process.

On 30 June 2013, Mirandés decided not to renew Pouso's contract even though he managed to finish above the relegation zone. In May 2014, he was appointed at UD Logroñés in the third division, leading his team to consecutive presences in the promotion play-offs albeit without success; having resigned from his post in November 2016, he became their director of football.

On 6 February 2018, Pouso joined Racing de Santander on a deal until the end of the campaign, replacing the fired Ángel Viadero. He returned to work in November the following year, at Pontevedra CF.

Pouso was removed from his post at the Galician club in February 2020 after a run of eight games without a win, though he stayed in other functions until the end of the season. Thirteen months later, he was back at work at a Recreativo de Huelva side facing relegation from the third tier. He was unable to prevent El Decano from suffering an unprecedented double descent to the fifth division following a restructuring of the Spanish football league system.

On 26 December 2022, after more than a year without a club, Pouso was appointed at CD Calahorra in the Primera Federación, replacing the dismissed Juan García. He left at the end of the 2023–24 campaign, ended in relegation to Segunda Federación.

On 2 June 2024, Pouso took over at SD Logroñés also in the fourth tier. One year later, he returned to Sestao as sporting director. Sestao1 July 200318 June 2008 Eibar18 June 20089 March 2009
