Official! Rui Borges signs new Sporting deal | OneFootball

It’s official. Rui Borges has extended his ties with Sporting for another season, extending the contract that was due to expire in 2027 until 2028, in a clear show of confidence from the club’s hierarchy. 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 side will now earn around €500,000 net per year, a figure that could rise depending on the achievement of sporting targets set by the Alvalade club. The new agreement comes as recognition for the work carried out 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 Matchday 32 of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side coached by Gil Lameiras, will be played at 8:15 p.m. at the José Alvalade Stadium.
