Should Rui Borges leave Sporting? Gonçalo Monteiro doesn't hesitate | OneFootball

Sporting’s draw against Famalicão (1-1) once again put Rui Borges at the center of the debate, but Gonçalo Monteirobelieves there are still no reasons to question the coach’s future. The analyst highlighted the importance of stability in a project that underwent significant changes over the summer.

In the analysis of the Lions’ current situation, it was stressed that the current team was built according to Rui Borges’s ideas and needs. In that sense, the commentator believes it would make no sense for the board led by Frederico Varandas to consider a change in the technical command so early in the season.

"The squad was assembled with the coach in mind. It makes no sense to let him go," he said on Now channel. The departure of important players such as Pedro Gonçalves and Trincão requires a period of adaptation and, in the commentator’s view, increases the need to give the current coach time, at a moment when the fans’ demands are high.

Another topic addressed was Gonçalo Inácio’s difficult spell. The centre-back scored two own goals in consecutive matches, against Galatasaray and Famalicão, but Gonçalo Monteiro believes the recent mistakes do not erase the qualities the Portugal international continues to show, especially when building from the back.
