Rui Borges' Sporting renewal rocked by poor results? State of play | OneFootball

The draw against AVS SAD has not shaken Sporting’s board’s confidence in Rui Borges. Despite the frustration caused by the result and the doubts raised externally, Frederico Varandas has maintained the decision to renew the coach’s contract.

“The decision has already been made and I will not use it in an election campaign,” Varandas said at the time.

In practice, Rui Borges is expected to extend his deal by another season, keeping him tied to the club until 2028. The parties have already settled the final details, with only the right moment left to make the agreement official, according to Record.

For now, the focus remains exclusively on sporting matters. Although the title is a long way off, the Lions are still fighting for second place, which guarantees access to the Champions League qualifiers, an objective considered crucial for the near future of the Alvalade club.

Sporting return to action next Wednesday, April 29, against Tondela. The match, counting for round 26 (rescheduled) of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side managed by Gonçalo Feio, will be played at 8:15 p.m. at the José Alvalade Stadium.
