With Premier League club circling, Rui Borges makes call on Sporting future | OneFootball

Rui Borges will stay at Sporting and there’s no turning back. According to the latest information, the green and white coach refuses to head to Wolverhampton and didn’t even need to think much to reach this decision. The Portuguese is happy at the Alvalade Club and has no intention of joining the Premier League side.

“This possibility [heading to Wolverhampton] is categorically rejected by the 44-year-old from Trás-os-Montes, who is only focused on the game against Juventus,” reports the newspaper Record, sharing the decision of Rui Borges, after the Sporting coach was considered as a possible replacement for Vítor Pereira at Wolves.

With a contract until June 2026, plus an optional extra season, Rui Borges has been cementing his place at Sporting. Last season, the coach won the National Championship and the Portuguese Cup and, in 2025/26, won 12 of the 16 matches he played, drawing one and losing the other three.

In total, since taking over as Sporting’s head coach in December 2024, coming from Vitória de Guimarães after the dismissal of João Pereira, Rui Borges has led the Alvalade Club in 45 matches, recording 30 wins, 10 draws, and five losses, in which he has won two titles.

Despite all this controversy, Rui Borges remains focused on Sporting’s trip to face Juventus. The match, part of the fourth round of the Champions League regular phase, is scheduled for next Tuesday, November 4, at 8:00 p.m. in Italy, and a victory could catapult the Lions to the next stage.
