Rui Borges renewal with a twist: Sporting boss gets bigger bonuses | OneFootball

Rui Borges’s renewal process will enter a more concrete phase in the coming hours, with the first formal meeting between the coach and Sporting. The meeting is scheduled for this Friday and should allow progress in the negotiations, at a time when both parties are willing to extend the deal that runs until 2027.

Unlike usual, the financial aspect is not seen as an obstacle. Rui Borges has already said that he is “driven by passion and not by money,” and informal contacts, including a dinner held on the 19th, helped align positions. Sporting’s SAD intends to offer a two-year extension, with a salary increase expected to reach around 2 million euros gross per year.

The new agreement may also include stronger performance-based bonuses, depending on sporting results. After securing the domestic double, the coach has already benefited from this component, which is expected to carry more weight in the future.

The release clause, set at 20 million euros, is expected to remain unchanged, as has been reported. The amount is seen as protection against the growing interest of European clubs, driven by Sporting’s run in the Champions League.
