Luís Figo hints at Sporting presidency bid | OneFootball

Sporting will go to the polls on March 14, with members choosing between Frederico Varandas and Bruno Sorreluz. Attentive to the electoral moment, Luís Figo made a point of highlighting the work developed by the current Board, emphasizing the recent evolution of the lions, admitting that he might even run for leadership in a few years.

“In recent years, Sporting has been the target of fantastic management, not only in terms of sports results but also for the club, especially considering where it came from and where it is now heading. Sporting is in good hands. Running for office? Sporting is my first club, so I respect and admire it. I have been a member for over 20 years, and I don't know if our paths will cross... it all depends on the opportunities for both sides. If it happens, I will be extremely happy, but if it doesn't, I will continue in my role as a fan, giving my unconditional support,” he said.

The former footballer, now 53 years old, also expressed confidence in the sporting future of the lions. “I hope Sporting continues on the path of winning championships. It is a two-time champion, it can renew the title, and I hope that happens,” he concluded, in statements to Sport TV.

Luís Figo, who shone in a recent legends match, completed all his training at the Alvalade Club and, from 1990 to 1995, served the senior team of the lions. With the green and white stripes, the former footballer scored 23 goals in 155 matches played, winning the Portuguese Cup in 1994/1995.
