Jorge Mendes in Rui Borges' Sporting renewal, papers sent back | OneFootball

The renewal process between Rui Borges and Sporting continues to move forward positively. With the mediation of Jorge Mendes’ Gestifute, the company that represents the 44-year-old coach, the parties are now in the final stage of ironing out the details. The in-person meeting initially planned was replaced by remote contacts, considered sufficient to take further steps toward an agreement.

The intention is shared: to finalize the deal during the international break. In this way, Rui Borges will be able to focus exclusively on sporting matters when competition resumes. Despite the proximity of the match against Santa Clara, scheduled for April 3, the calendar does not affect the confidence of all parties in a favorable outcome.

Currently under contract until 2027, the coach is expected to extend his deal by two more seasons, until 2029. The new agreement also provides for a significant salary increase, with his wages rising from the current net 500 thousand euros to more than one million euros, after taxes.

In addition, the contract will include a strengthened bonus component tied to objectives, linked to the team’s sporting performance. The conditions presented are to the coach’s liking, who has already sent Sporting, through his representatives, a version of the document with minor adjustments.

Even without knowing the final outcome of the season, the SAD led by Frederico Varandas believes Rui Borges deserves this raise. The coach won the league title, secured the domestic double after more than two decades, took the club to the Champions League quarter-finals, and has regularly relied on players developed at the Academy.
