Tomás da Cunha rebuts Varandas on Rui Borges: “Sporting need to think…” | OneFootball

Tomás da Cunha reacted to Frederico Varandas’ statements about Rui Borges and focused on what he believes should be the main issue for Sporting: not the coach’s past, but what he can offer the Club from now on.

“I heard Varandas, and I had already heard Rui Borges recall what he achieved at Sporting. That is exactly the point: the club needs to think about what Rui Borges can do in the future, not what he did in the past,” said the sports commentator.

This view comes after Frederico Varandas assured that Rui Borges’ position was never in question, denying that there was any meeting of the SAD board to discuss the coach’s future after the latest results.

The President of Sporting also took the opportunity to defend the coach’s work with several statistics. Varandas highlighted the home wins in the Champions League, the run of victories at Alvalade, the low percentage of defeats, and the 82 points achieved in each of the two seasons mentioned.

The official nevertheless acknowledged the figure relating to the 17 occasions on which Sporting lost leads during Rui Borges’ time in charge. “It is a fact, there is no way to deny it,” he said, although he downplayed the weight of that record in light of what he considers to be the team’s other results.
