Leaving Sporting? Catamo’s ex-coach teases new challenge for him | OneFootball

Luís Gonçalves says he would like to see Geny Catamo play in the Premier League. The former coach of Sporting’s winger, who gave him his debut for the Mozambique national team, spoke with the newspaper A Bola and discussed the qualities of the player who scored the equalizing goal in the match against Marseille.

"Geny is not a prolific goalscorer, but he scores important goals. Playing on the right side, he finishes very well, powerfully, with his left foot, when he finds space inside and lines up with the goal. With more game time, he will score more," Luís Gonçalves began to explain, referring to the winger who played his 100th match for the Lions.

The former Mozambique national team coach continued: "I have always believed in Geny’s quality and talent. The rest came from his hard work and the recognition from his coaches. He has been a very important player for Sporting and Sporting was and is important in Geny’s career. 100 games is a remarkable milestone, congratulations to him!".

It’s worth recalling that, after being a key player in winning the league title for the second consecutive time and the Portuguese Cup in the 2024/25 season, Geny Catamo attracted a lot of interest during the summer transfer window. He ended up staying at Alvalade, but Luís Gonçalves is already thinking about new horizons for the Sporting winger.

"Geny can go far. I believe the English league is tailor-made for him. Geny is an intelligent, skillful, and explosive player. He has all the qualities to succeed in the best league in the world," concluded the former coach of the Sporting player.
