Rui Borges reaches milestone, Sporting pay tribute: "Still with you, boss” | OneFootball

Rui Borges marked his 50th game in charge of Sporting, with a thrashing against Estrela (4-0), in the fifth match of the season where the national champions scored four or more goals, following Arouca (6-0), Nacional (4-1), Kairat (4-1), and Alverca (5-1). Against Estrela, and with the victory's poker, the lions surpassed the 50-goal mark this season (now 53).

The coach, who led Sporting to a championship double, completed the round number of games at the helm of the lions, numbers that the Club itself made sure to highlight on social media: “Rui Borges reached the milestone of 50 games for Sporting yesterday. We continue side by side, mister,” shared the lions on ‘X’.

The coach, it should be remembered, debuted on December 29, 2024, with a victory at Alvalade over Benfica (1-0), under Bruno Lage, curiously the next opponent in the League, this time against José Mourinho. The Luz derby is scheduled for this Friday, December 5.

Rui Borges was announced as the coach of Sporting, interrupting a mini-cycle of João Pereira that resulted in a failed bet by the Club's Management. A month and a half after being announced as the natural successor to Ruben Amorim, the former right-back ceased his duties.

Under Rui Borges' command, Sporting won two titles: a National Championship (2024/25) and a Portuguese Cup (2024/25). The coach has a contract with the Alvalade Club until June 30, 2026, with the possibility of automatic renewal until June 30, 2027.
