Professional biography

Jose Boto was born on March 2, 1966, in Loures, an area near Lisbon. He started working as a manager with the local team of his birthplace, before moving on to Sacavenense, and then he joined Benfica.

From 2007 he became a scout, while in 2010 he became the head of the scouting department, a role he held until 2018, when he left the Portuguese club.

In 2018 he moved to the Ukraine and became the sports director of Shakhtar, taking on a significant share of responsibility for building the squad. Under his stewardship, Shakhtar managed to celebrate various titles and make excellent progress in the UEFA Champions League.[4]

Boto has accepted the challenge at PAOK and now assumes the role of Sporting Director for the next two-and-a-half years.[5]
