Segura won both the Greek championship and Cup with Olympiacos after the sacking of Takis Lemonis in March 2008. He decided to leave the club after the end of the season, despite winning two titles, because the board was planning to agree with a more experienced coach. Also the 4–0 defeat from AEK Athens for the championship was a black page for him in Olympiacos. Before joining Olympiacos he was assistant coach to Lorenzo Serra Ferrer at AEK Athens. In May 2009 Segura agreed to join Liverpool as a Technical Manager at the club's Academy.<ref>[http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/team/academy/staff/jose-segura José Segura] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100108093449/http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/team/academy/staff/jose-segura |date=2010-01-08 }} Liverpool FC.
