Attention! Rui Borges' Sporting renewal put on hold | OneFootball

The meeting between Sporting’s SAD and Rui Borges, initially scheduled for this Friday, has been postponed to the beginning of next week. The change was merely due to a scheduling adjustment between the parties and does not call into question the progress of the coach’s renewal process.

Despite this brief delay, negotiations remain on the right track. After an initial informal meeting held last week, the talks have entered a decisive phase aimed at extending the coach’s contract by two more seasons.

The Sporting board remains intent on concluding the matter during the current break for international fixtures. The goal is to take advantage of this period without competition to finalize the contractual details and ensure stability in the technical leadership.

The foundations of the new agreement are practically in place. The understanding between Sporting and the coach provides for a significant pay rise, with Rui Borges set to see his salary almost doubled, approaching two million euros per year.

The release clause, on the other hand, should remain unchanged at 20 million euros. With the main points defined, the meeting rescheduled for the beginning of next week could make it possible to formalize the agreement and pave the way for the official announcement of the renewal.
