Sporting puts Rui Borges item up for auction, price soars | OneFootball

The match between the Sporting team and Vitória de Guimarães, corresponding to matchday 32 of the league, on May 4, ended in a 5-1 win for the Lions. However, besides the match itself, Rui Borges’ outfit also caught the eye. The Lions’ coach appeared at the game wearing a shirt with the word 'devotion' on it.

The item was meanwhile signed by the green-and-white coach and, this Monday, May 18, was put up for auction on the “matchwornshirt” website. The event will run until the end of the week. While the opening bid stood at €11, the price currently stands at €183.

After last season, when he was crowned national champion with Sporting, becoming known for repeatedly wearing a vest in every match, Rui Borges continues to show himself to be “superstitious” when it comes to the clothes he chooses, as they still carry great significance.

This season, after the team failed to win any of the trophies it competed for, the Lions’ coach hopes to win the Portuguese Cup this Sunday, May 24, at the Jamor Stadium.
