Rui Borges hits special milestone at Sporting with eye-catching stats | OneFootball

Rui Borges will reach his 50th game in charge of Sporting's coaching team next Sunday, November 30th. The green and white coach will hit this milestone in the match corresponding to the 12th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against Estrela da Amadora.

It should be remembered that Rui Borges took over the main squad of Sporting on December 26, 2024, at a time when the Alvalade Club was going through a difficult period, following Ruben Amorim's departure to Manchester United, and a month and a half of nightmare with João Pereira at the helm of the team.

In a second half of the season plagued by injuries, Rui Borges - who received good news in double dose - managed to lead Sporting to a double championship win and a double, a record not seen in Alvalade for many years. Afterwards, the coach changed the tactical scheme so that the team played in his image, and the results are evident.

Firstly, it should be noted that, in his first full season with the lion on his chest, Rui Borges has Sporting competing on all fronts in which it is involved. They remain in the running in the Portuguese Cup and the League Cup, are second in the national championship, and are in the top-8 of the Champions League league phase.

The numbers reflect this good moment for the green and white team. Since he arrived at Sporting, there have been 33 wins, 10 draws, and six losses in 49 matches played. To this record, we add the 106 goals scored during his reign so far (an average of 2.16 per game), and only 42 conceded.
