FPF led by Pedro Proença rewards Sporting duo | OneFootball

Rui Borges and Francisco Trincão were honored at the Gala Quinas de Ouro. The ceremony, organized by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), presided over by Pedro Proença, in partnership with the Union of Professional Football Players (SJPF) and the National Association of Football Coaches (ANTF), took place last Saturday, October 25.

The Sporting coach was named the best coach of 2024/25, after leading the Alvalade Club to win the National Championship twice in a row and the much-desired double, after being hired from Vitória de Guimarães in December.

The Portuguese international winger was the best player of the season, in the most productive year of his career. Francisco Trincão scored 11 goals and provided 17 assists over 54 matches for Sporting throughout the last season - which is likely to earn him a contract renewal soon.

Aurélio Pereira, who passed away last April, was also remembered by Pedro Proença. The eternal Mr. Formation was remembered and honored with the Medal of Honor from the Portuguese Football Federation, now presided over by the former referee.

Sporting finished last season in first place in the National Championship, with 82 points at the end of the 34 rounds - 25 wins, seven draws, and two losses. In the Portuguese Cup, the lions defeated Benfica in the final (3-1), after extra time.
