João Maria Jonet blasts Rui Borges after Sporting-Torreense debacle | OneFootball

Sporting’s defeat in the Portuguese Cup final against Torreense continues to spark strong reactions among fans and figures linked to the Lions’ world. After the 2-1 loss at the National Stadium, João Maria Jonet delivered harsh criticism, especially of Rui Borges.

On social media, “It took a while, but there it is. A mediocre coach, always has been,” he wrote.

The Cascais City Council councillor went even further in his criticism, saying it was incomprehensible for a team with so many resources to end the season like this: “They have the best team in Portugal and win nothing. Unacceptable if we want to keep being a big club,” he added.

The reaction comes at a time of enormous frustration among Sporting supporters, after the club lost the Portuguese Cup final to a Torreense side that made history by winning the trophy for the first time. Sporting went into the match as clear favourites, but ended up being stunned.
