Leonino exclusive: Varandas decides Rui Borges’ Sporting future | OneFootball

Sporting’s management maintains full confidence in Rui Borges, despite recent results, according to Leonino. Frederico Varandas believes that achieving the third consecutive championship is a realistic goal. For this reason, he is not considering making changes to the technical team’s leadership at this decisive stage of the season.

According to our newspaper, the President of the Lions has already personally conveyed this message of reassurance to his coach. Frederico Varandas assured Rui Borges that his position remains secure, reinforcing the unity between the management and the locker room. The objective is to approach the second half of the season with maximum internal stability.

Not even Ruben Amorim’s dismissal from Manchester United has altered the plan set out by the SAD administration. On the contrary, there is a strong possibility of moving forward with renewing the contract with the current coach. This stance demonstrates that the green and white sports project remains solid and highly focused.

Since taking the helm at Sporting, Rui Borges has posted an overall positive record. In the 58 official matches held so far, the coach has achieved 38 wins, 13 draws, and only seven losses. These numbers support the management’s continued confidence in his ability to lead the group.

Sporting, currently second in the Liga Portugal Betclic with 42 points, will return to the pitch next Friday, January 16. The match against Casa Pia, counting for the 18th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, is scheduled to kick off at 8:15 p.m. at Estádio José Alvalade.
