Nuno Santos just returned for Sporting and has already picked up a fine | OneFootball

15 months later, Nuno Santos returned to the field in the Sporting - AVS match, with a victory (3-2) in the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup. However, he received some bad news. The winger was fined 612 euros by the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation.

The fine was due to statements made after the Sporting - Nacional match, last Sunday. According to the disciplinary report, Nuno Santos stated: “Here we are in charge, here in our house we don't take any..., here nobody gives us any..., here we are the ones in charge”, without it being possible to precisely determine the recipient of the statements.

Although he was not called up for the 20th round match of the Liga Portugal Betclic against the islanders (2-1), the 30-year-old player was present on the field at the end of the match and made remarks that were recorded in the league delegate's report.

In the same report, the Sporting club was also fined 3,825 euros due to the use of large banners by the fans. The disciplinary body is now awaiting clarifications from Sporting regarding this game and also the match against Casa Pia, from the 18th round.

Nuno Santos – valued at 5 million euros – joined Sporting in 2020, coming from Rio Ave, for 4.15 million euros (Transfermarkt data). Since then, the winger has played 197 matches, scored 34 goals, provided 42 assists, and won seven titles (three National Championships, one Super Cup Cândido de Oliveira, one Portuguese Cup, and two League Cups).
