Frederico Varandas lines up Christmas gift for Rui Borges at Sporting | OneFootball

Frederico Varandas is determined to give Rui Borges a special Christmas gift, who recently received praise from a former candidate for the club’s leadership. The Sporting President intends to renew the contract with the green and white coach. The administration’s goal is to reward sporting merit and ensure the continuity of a project that has been bearing fruit.

The coach’s current contract is valid until June 2027. This agreement was automatically extended right after last season’s brilliant national title win. Despite the comfortable length of the existing commitment, the Board believes it is essential to review the terms to reflect the coach’s current status.

Rui Borges feels extremely happy and fulfilled at the helm of Sporting. The coach has already expressed his total willingness to negotiate and sign a new contract. The harmony between the coach and the Board is absolute, making the upcoming talks likely to proceed smoothly and further strengthen their unity.

Rui Borges joined Sporting from Vitória de Guimarães, in a deal worth around 4 million euros, to replace João Pereira. Since taking the reins, his journey has been positive, winning a National Championship and a Portuguese Cup. These trophies validated Frederico Varandas’ decision at the time.

Since arriving at Sporting, Rui Borges has led 55 official matches (37 wins, 12 draws, and six losses). In the current season, the Trás-os-Montes native has recorded 19 victories in 26 games, drawing three (Benfica, Braga, and Juventus) and losing four (Bayern Munich, Napoli, Porto, and Benfica).
