Wolves eyeing up Rui Borges move from Sporting, fresh developments emerge | OneFootball

The interest from Wolverhampton in bringing Rui Borges to England has somewhat 'shaken' Sporting's week. However, there has been no contact from the Premier League club with the Lions or the coach's representatives regarding this possibility - he has even commented on these reports.

According to information shared by Sebastião Sousa-Pinto on his account on the platform 'X' (formerly Twitter), the Wolves are looking for a different type of coach to succeed Vítor Pereira. It seems that Gary O’Neil "might return to Wolverhampton", the same source reports.

With a contract until June 2026, with an option for another season, Rui Borges has been solidifying his position at Sporting. Last season, the coach won the National Championship and the Portuguese Cup, and in 2025/26, he won 12 of the 16 matches he played, drawing one and losing three.

Overall, since taking over the technical command of Sporting in December 2024, coming from Vitória de Guimarães following the dismissal of João Pereira, Rui Borges has managed 45 matches for the Alvalade Club, achieving 30 victories, 10 draws, and five losses, winning two titles in the process.

Despite all this controversy, Rui Borges remains focused on Sporting's trip to face Juventus. The match, part of the fourth round of the regular phase of the Champions League, is scheduled for next Tuesday, November 4th, at 8:00 PM in Italy, and a victory could propel the Lions to the next stage.
