Sousa keen on overseas tour
Previous bosses John Gregory and Iain Dowie held their pre-season programmes at home but Sousa, who is looking for a flying start to the next campaign, feels a trip abroad will benefit his players.
"I want to have one part here and one part abroad. We have to have a good pitch for training and we want to keep the union of the team and know each other better," Sousa told the Kilburn Times.
"Of course, this depends on the decisions of the board because sometimes it costs money. I think you need to play the right games against the right teams in pre-season, but not so many.
"For a coach in this league, the pre-season is very important because we are playing so many games in the season that we don't have as much time to train.
"We have six weeks in pre-season to make our ideas clear and if we start the season well, like Wolverhampton did this year, everyone will have the confidence to continue thes ideas."
