Sporting sacks João Pereira, appoints Rui Borges as new head coach

Sporting has confirmed the dismissal of head coach João Pereira, who took over from Rúben Amorim in November.

Despite the change, Pereira’s tenure was short-lived, and the club has now appointed Rui Borges as the new manager. The decision comes after a series of disappointing results under Pereira’s leadership.

The contract with Borges has already been signed, and he is set to be unveiled as the new head coach in the coming hours. This managerial change marks a new chapter for Sporting as they look to improve their performances and aim for better results in the future.
