Sporting women's results put Micael Sequeira on the brink | OneFootball

O Leonino knows that Micael Sequeira does not have a secure place at Sporting. The coach of the women’s football team is currently ‘walking a tightrope’ due to the team’s recent results, which have been disappointing and do not align with the objectives of Frederico Varandas’ Board.

According to information from a source close to the process, in statements to our newspaper, the coach of the lionesses still has an opportunity to ‘react’ to this more negative streak while at the helm of the Sporting squad, but the green and white management will not give much leeway, as they expect titles this season.

For now, the draw in the League Cup (1-1, Rio Ave) and the defeat in the BPI League (3-2, Torreense) have shaken the Sporting Board’s confidence in Micael Sequeira, even though the club had trusted the coach after his team failed to secure a historic qualification for the Champions League group stage—dropping down to the Women’s Europa Cup, where they are now in the round of 16.

With the recent defeat—the second in 10 games this season— Micael Sequeira’s side currently sits in second place in the national championship, with 10 points. Benfica leads (13).

The green and white club remains focused on the BPI League. The next match for Sporting is scheduled for Saturday, November 8, against Braga, at 3:00 p.m. The clash with Marwin Bolz’s team will be played at Estádio Amélia Morais, in Minho.
