Sesa took his first head coaching job in 2012 as new boss of Swiss Challenge League club Wohlen. He was removed from managerial duties in February 2014 due to poor results and replaced with Ciriaco Sforza.[6]
In the summer 2016, Sesa became the assistant manager of his former teammate, René Weiler, at Belgian club Anderlecht.[7] Weiler was fired on 18 September 2017 but Sesa stayed at the club to assist interim manager Nicolás Frutos. However, his contract was terminated in the beginning of the following month.
On 31 August 2019, Sesa was appointed assistant manager of Weiler once again, this time at Egyptian club Al Ahly.[8]
On 1 October 2020, Sesa departed Al Ahly following the departure of Weiler.
On 21 June 2022, he was announced as the new head coach of Bellinzona in their first season back in the Swiss Challenge League, after achieving promotion in the previous season from the Swiss Promotion League.[9] On 22 August 2022, after only five games with Bellinzona, he resigned from his post.[10]
