Moreirense want cash from Guimarães over Rui Borges row, Sporting boss involved | OneFootball

Moreirense has initiated legal proceedings against Vitória de Guimarães at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, related to a claim for credits. At issue are the amounts that the Cónegos believe they are entitled to receive following the departure of Rui Borges to Sporting in December 2024.

At the time, the Alvalade club paid 4.1 million euros to secure the signing of the coach and the rest of the technical staff, who moved from Guimarães to Alvalade. The dispute now centers on how the financial compensation should be calculated and divided between the two Minho clubs.

According to the newspaper 'Record', Moreirense believes that the percentage they are entitled to should be based on the total value of the deal, including the entire technical staff and not just the amount related to the termination of the head coach's contract.

In December 2024, there was talk of a possible 50/50 split between Vitória and Moreirense. However, Vitória's president, António Miguel Cardoso, clarified at the time that “it will not be 50% for each club, as has been said, but it will be an approximate amount,” indicating that the terms of the agreement would be different from what was initially reported.

Under the command of the Lions, Rui Borges lost the League Cup, but won the Liga Portugal Betclic and the Portuguese Cup, despite a wave of injuries that affected the squad, achieving the league double for Sporting, 71 and 23 years later, respectively.
