Luc Castaignos selected the best 11 of his career, featuring three former captains of Sporting. The Dutch forward shared the locker room with these players during his time at the Alvalade Club between 2016 and 2018, having arrived under the direction of Bruno de Carvalho.
In statements to the portal Elfvoetbal, Castaignos, considered by many as one of the biggest flops in the recent history of the green and white emblem, chose Sebastian Coates, Adrien Silva, and Bruno Fernandes as three of the 11 best players he played with on the same team.
It's fantastic. I loved being in contact with him.”
It is worth remembering that just last February, the former Dutch youth international ended his career as a football player, at the age of 32. The former forward announced his decision through his official Instagram account: “After all these beautiful experiences traveling the world to pursue my dream, I have decided that it is time to stop. Stop as a player and professional footballer. They say that when one door closes, another opens.”
Luc Castaignos entered the doors of Sporting in 2016, under the direction of Bruno de Carvalho. The Sporting SAD paid 2.5 million euros for his services, an investment that yielded no results. In his 17 games wearing the lion's jersey, the forward failed to score any goals or provide any assists. His only record is three yellow cards.
