Updates! Rui Borges's Sporting renewal enters a new phase | OneFootball

There is news regarding Rui Borges’ contract renewal with Sporting. After the initial moves, still on an informal basis, Sporting’s board is expected to move ahead “without a hitch” to finalize a new deal with the Mirandela-born coach in the near future.

After the comeback against Bodo/Glimt, the coach and the board had a first informal contact at a dinner held on March 19. Even so, before the match against Alverca, Rui Borges avoided fueling the topic. “I’m super calm about that. I have a contract with Sporting, I haven’t had any meeting at all. Whatever has to happen will happen in its own time,” he said.

The process is now entering a more concrete phase. The first formal meeting should take place between the return to training and the end of the week, taking advantage of the competitive break. The aim is to formalize the proposal and start putting on paper the principles already discussed after qualification for the Champions League quarter-finals.

Although there is a basic understanding, this meeting will serve only as the starting point for negotiations, which are not expected to be concluded during the FIFA break. Staying at Sporting is desired by both parties and the differences are not significant, with only details left to settle.

The new contract should be extended by two more seasons, until 2029, with one guaranteed season and another optional one. Rui Borges’ salary, currently around €1 million net per year, will be increased, while the release clause, set at €20 million, should remain unchanged.
