Born in Rosario, Santa Fe, Soso started his career in Newell's Old Boys' youth categories. In 2009, he became Claudio Vivas' assistant at Argentinos Juniors for six months, before joining Javier Torrente's staff at Libertad, Cerro Porteño, Newell's and Nacional, under the same role.[1]

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 11 December 2014, Soso was appointed manager of Real Garcilaso for the upcoming season.[3] Sacked the following 10 August after losing the 2015 Apertura,[4] he returned to Cristal on 4 January 2016, being now first team manager.[5]

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]
