Managerial career
His debut as a manager occurred in July 2006, and it could not have been any better as Wilstermann won the 2006 Segundo Torneo league championship on December 3 of that year under his lead. During 2007 while managing Real Potosí, Soria won his second league title as he secured the 2007-Apertura for the lilas.
