Bruno de Carvalho's flop chose the best 11 of his career, featuring three former captains of Sporting

Luc Castaignos selected the best 11 of his career, which includes three former captains of Sporting. The Dutch forward shared the locker room with these players during his time at the Alvalade Club between 2016 and 2018, where he arrived under the management of Bruno de Carvalho.

In statements to the Elfvoetbal portal, Castaignos, considered by many as one of the biggest flops in the recent history of the green and white emblem, chose Sebastian Coates, Adrien Silva, and Bruno Fernandes as three of the 11 best players he played with on the same team.

Also to the same media outlet, Luc Castaignos chose Jorge Jesus as the best coach of his career, recalling the times he encountered the current Al Nassr coach during his tenure at Sporting: “He is fantastic. I loved being in contact with him.”

It is worth remembering that just last February, the former Dutch youth international ended his career as a football player at the age of 32. The former forward announced his decision through his official Instagram account: “After all these beautiful experiences traveling the world to pursue my dream, I have decided it's time to stop. Stop as a player and professional footballer. They say when one door closes, another opens.”

Luc Castaignos entered the doors of Sporting in 2016, under the management of Bruno de Carvalho. The leonine SAD paid 2.5 million euros for his services, an investment that yielded no results. In his 17 games wearing the lion's jersey, the forward failed to score any goals or provide any assists. His only record is three yellow cards.
