Varandas keeps Borges, Jonet hits out: “Scapegoat for the short-sighted" | OneFootball

he delivered harsh criticism of Rui Borges and the way Sporting has managed the sporting project in recent times. The well-known Sporting supporter believes the coach never had the ability to meet the demands of the role, but also feels he is now serving as a “scapegoat” for mistakes made higher up.

“Out of his depth from the moment he came in, he ends up as the scapegoat for those who failed to see it and let a dominant project wither into mediocrity,” wrote João Maria Jonet, in an especially critical assessment of the current situation at Alvalade.

The message is therefore not aimed only at the coach. Jonet also holds responsible those who decided to keep Rui Borges and steer the sporting process, arguing that the signs of weakness were already there and were not properly understood.

“The beginning foreshadowed this depressing end for someone who was always going to stay too long and leave when it made the least sense and was most toxic,” he added, at a time when pressure around Sporting’s technical leadership has increased following the latest results.
