After an initial informal contact between Sporting’s SAD and Rui Borges, held last Thursday, the Alvalade club is preparing to move into the decisive phase of negotiations aimed at renewing the coach’s contract for two more seasons.

Following the initial exchange of positions, a new meeting is planned and could result in a final agreement. The competitive break will be used to speed up the process and, everything indicates, there will be another meeting over the weekend to settle the final details before the signing.

The understanding between the parties at this stage is total, and the new contract should include a salary increase, with Rui Borges set to earn more than €1 million. For its part, as initially reported, the release clause is expected to remain at €20 million.

The agreement was already practically outlined in the first contact between the coach’s representatives and the Sporting hierarchy, and it could be finalized in the coming days, with the possibility of being made official during the international break.

It is worth remembering that Rui Borges reached his 50th victory in charge of Sporting following the 4-1 win over Alverca. The Lions coach reached this milestone after 73 matches in charge of the first team, averaging 2.25 points per game since taking over at Alvalade.
