Rui Borges is already fully focused on preparing for the 2026/27 season. After a few days of holiday between Portugal and Spain, Sporting’s coach has returned to the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy to finalize every detail ahead of the start of the new campaign.

Even during the squad’s break, the 44-year-old coach held several remote meetings with those in charge of Sporting’s structure, closely following the pre-season planning and the matters related to the transfer market.

In recent days, Rui Borges has already arrived in Alcochete to speed up preparations before the players’ official return, scheduled for Wednesday. The coach wants to have everything settled in order to begin work in the best possible way.

Besides the Mirandela-born coach, Nuno Santos, João Simões and Iván Fresneda are also already at the Academy. The three players remain under the care of the medical department, recovering from their respective injuries with a view to returning to competition.

Sporting officially begins preparations for the new season this Wednesday, with medical exams and the first training sessions in Alcochete. Rui Borges hopes to start working with practically the entire squad available, with the new signings already integrated into the team’s dynamics.
