Sporting CP has officially announced the dismissal of head coach João Pereira, who had taken over just weeks ago following the departure of Rúben Amorim to Manchester United. Pereira’s brief tenure lasted less than two months, marked by disappointing performances that culminated in a recent league defeat, costing the team their top position in the standings.
The decision comes amid a crisis for Sporting, as the club prepares for a crucial derby against rivals Benfica. Fans and board members alike expressed frustration over the team’s rapid decline under Pereira, whose initial success quickly faded.
In a swift move to stabilize the situation, Sporting is set to unveil Rui Borges as the new head coach within hours. Borges, currently at Vitória de Guimarães, is known for his tactical acumen and ability to motivate players in challenging circumstances. His appointment aims to restore confidence and direction as Sporting navigates a demanding schedule with significant stakes ahead.
