Micael Sequeira may soon leave the managerial position of the Sporting women’s football team, according to Leonino. Recent results have not been satisfactory for Frederico Varandas, who is even considering ending the contract with the 52-year-old coach if the team does not get back to winning in the upcoming matches.

According to information gathered by our newspaper, the green and white management believes there are conditions for the team to achieve and present better results, something that has not happened since Mariana Cabral left the managerial position in October 2024.

The green and white board, led by Frederico Varandas, was convinced that the Lions’ coach would be able to secure the Liga BPI title and, in doing so, end Benfica’s dominance. However, the team’s recent performances have fallen short of expectations.

Moreover, the gap between the two Segunda Circular clubs is becoming increasingly pronounced. Despite being in second place in the Championship, Sporting (11) is already five points behind the club from Luz (16), with only six matches played. Failing to qualify for the Champions League also disappointed the Sporting management.

While at Sporting, Micael Sequeira has already overseen 37 matches. In total, the coach, who arrived at Alvalade thanks to Ruben Amorim, with whom he worked at Braga, has achieved 24 wins, recorded seven draws, and suffered six defeats, with the women’s team from Alvalade not having won in their last four matches.
