Coach could leave Sporting, but Frederico Varandas' approval still needed | OneFootball

João Gião is one of the names being considered for the head coach position at Casa Pia. After the dismissal of João Pereira following poor results, the “gansos” (geese) are looking very favorably at the Sporting B coach, although there have not yet been any contacts with the structure led by Frederico Varandas.

At Sporting’s reserve team, João Gião is doing a fantastic job. The “leões” (lions) are leading the second division, with 21 points in nine matches (seven wins and two losses). In the UEFA Youth League, the Alvalade club has seven points (two wins and a draw) and is in 10th place.

: “Our greatest victory since I arrived here was the one we had on Tuesday [Sporting – Tondela]. We work every day to see players we helped develop reach the first team. Having five made the day extremely rewarding.”

“I appreciate the words from coach Rui Borges, but it’s obviously not just my work. Most of the players come from a long process at the Academy and the B team is the culmination. The entire development process is very important,” concluded João Gião, who is now on Casa Pia’s radar.
