He started his career in 1998 in Apollon Limassol, before joining AEK Larnaca in 2006. After another spell with Apollon in the 2008-2009, he spent the 2009-2010 season in Aris and APOEL. In May 2010, he returned for a third spell with Apollon and retired at the end of 2012-2013 season.
After the departure of Pedro Emanuel from Apollon in December 2016, Sofronis Avgousti was assigned as caretaker manager for the remainder of the season. Due to the team's impressive form and performance, which resulted in the win of the Cypriot Cup, he stayed as a permanent solution for the managerial position at the club.
From November 2020, Sofronis joins the big club AEK Larnaca as its manager.[1]
