Official! Rui Borges signs new deal with Sporting | OneFootball

It’s official. Rui Borges has renewed with Sporting until 2028, with the possibility of extending the deal until June 2029, in a clear show of confidence from the club’s leadership. In addition to the renewal, the coach is also expected to benefit from a salary increase.

As a result, the coach of the green-and-white club will now earn around €500,000 net per year, an amount that could rise if the sporting objectives set by the Alvalade club are met. The new agreement comes as recognition for the work done in a season in which Sporting once again showed competitiveness, especially in the Champions League, where they reached the quarter-finals before being eliminated by Arsenal.

In the league, however, the situation is more complicated, with the Lions out of the running for a third straight title. Even so, the team remains in the race for second place, which guarantees access to the third qualifying round of the Champions League, although it depends on Benfica slipping up in the final matchdays.

Sporting return to action next Monday, May 4, against Vitória de Guimarães. The match, part of round 32 of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side coached by Gil Lameiras, will be played at 8:15 pm at the José Alvalade Stadium.
