Rui Borges commented on the recent speculations about the renewal of his contract with Sporting and remained calm about the future. The coach also mentioned that there was no meeting, but does not rule out a possible meeting in the future, leaving everything open.

R. Borges: "What has to happen, will happen in due time”

“News is part of it, it's your job. Regarding the renewal, I am super calm, I know well what our interaction with the structure is, the mutual trust. I have a contract with Sporting. There was no meeting. What has to happen, will happen in due time,” said the coach.

The coach also spoke about the controversy surrounding the postponed game with Tondela: “It's noise, it's part of it but it was a right we had. We always say that the English are the best, but look at the number of postponed games in the last round. Sometimes we criticize ours and praise others, but we are on the same level,” he said.

When asked if the team could be harmed by the decision, the coach made it clear that there are no regrets: “None. It was a right we had and we exercised it. I won't go much further into that. It's a regulatory right, we chose it and it's a good thing we did, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to give the physical and mental response we did in the game with Bodo,” he explained.
