Coach who knocked Rui Borges out of the League Cup would coach Sporting | OneFootball

Luís Pinto, former Vitória de Guimarães coach, made it clear that he dreams of reaching one of the giants of Portuguese football, including Sporting. The remarks came after praise from José Mourinho. The manager did not hide his ambition to make the leap.

"They are all very well managed and are doing their job very well. If that moment ever comes, of course we work for it and we work towards those steps we have to take", he admitted at the forum of the National Association of Football Coaches.

It is worth remembering that the young 36-year-old coach may have recent arguments to support his bid for greater heights. The coach eliminated the team managed by Rui Borges in the League Cup. That triumph paved the way for a remarkable run.

In the Allianz Cup final, the coach surprised again by beating Braga and winning the trophy. The success increased the coach's visibility on the national stage. The campaign reinforced the idea that he can make the leap. Luís Pinto had already led Tondela to promotion to the Primeira Liga last season.
