Rui Borges fed up with rumours, decides his Sporting future | OneFootball

Rui Borges is not considering resigning from Sporting and remains convinced that he is the right coach to turn the team’s current situation around. The manager is annoyed by the way his work has been publicly assessed and, above all, by some of the reports that have emerged in recent days.

According to the newspaper Record, the coach acknowledges that this is a difficult moment, but remains motivated to move forward. Unless he receives instructions to the contrary from the SAD, Rui Borges is ready to lead the next training session as usual and work on the Lions’ recovery.

His discomfort was evident after being confronted with rumors pointing to Sérgio Conceição as a possible successor in charge of Sporting. Before that, in the preview of the match against Arouca, Rui Borges had already used statistical data to defend the work done since arriving at Alvalade.

Although the SAD is assessing the situation and may discuss the coach’s future, there has still been no conversation between Rui Borges and Frederico Varandas about a possible departure. The manager remains available to speak with the club’s hierarchy and intends to convey that he believes he has the conditions to turn around the recent results.

Rui Borges is also protected by a contract valid until 2028 and has the support that Frederico Varandas publicly expressed for him on previous occasions. The coach also believes that the team needs time after the many changes made to the squad during the last transfer window.

He also believes that several players are still in the process of adapting to his ideas. For that reason, he remains confident that Sporting can improve and come through this negative spell without the need for a change in the technical leadership.
