Exclusive: Sporting key man disappoints Varandas, future in doubt | OneFootball

Micael Sequeira may have his position at Sporting at risk, Leonino has learned. The recent results of the women’s football team at the Alvalade club have displeased Frederico Varandas’ management, which is currently analyzing the best course of action to take.

According to information from a source close to the process, in statements to our newspaper, the coach of the lionesses still has an opportunity to ‘react’ to this more negative streak he is experiencing at the helm of Sporting’s team, but the green and white leaders will not give much leeway, as they expect titles this sporting season.

For now, the draw in the League Cup (1-1, Rio Ave) and the defeat in the BPI League (3-2, Torreense) have shaken the Sporting Board’s confidence in Micael Sequeira, even though the club had trusted the coach even after his team failed to secure an unprecedented qualification for the Champions League group stage – dropping down to the Women’s European Cup, where they are now in the round of 16.

With the recent defeat – the second in 10 games this season – Micael Sequeira’s squad currently sits in second place in the national championship, with 10 points. Benfica leads (13).

The green and white club remains focused on the BPI League. Sporting’s next match is scheduled for Saturday, November 8, against Braga, at 3:00 p.m. The clash against Marwin Bolz’s side will be played at Estádio Amélia Morais, in Minho.
