Moreirense v Sporting: ex-player hails Rui Borges, says "I feel very..." | OneFootball

This Saturday, the 21st, Rui Borges returns to the starting point. It was in Moreira de Cónegos that the now Sporting coach began his journey in the top tier of Portuguese football in 2023/2024. Kewin Silva, former goalkeeper of Moreirense, expresses happiness for the achievements the Mirandela-born coach has already accomplished.

"I'm very happy to see his success, his career has always been about hard work and humility, and things happened because he truly deserved it. After Moreirense, he went to Vitória, where he did very well, and then to Sporting. It was good that he went through all the stages and always rose to the occasion when he was at a higher level, all the credit goes to him," he praised in an interview with the newspaper A Bola.

The 30-year-old goalkeeper reiterated his opinion about Rui Borges. "When he arrived at Sporting, it was no surprise to those who had already worked with him, he deserved the opportunity to represent a big club, he seized it and has been doing an excellent job," it reads.

Kewin Silva also highlighted the fact that Rui Borges and Moreirense were a perfect duo. "We found a coach who was very eager to make things happen in the League, I believe it was his first year in the top tier, and we were also very eager to prove our worth in the first league again. So it was a perfect time for both, the club and the coach, a perfect match", he said.

It should be noted that the green and white team will take the field again next Saturday, February 21st, against Moreirense (possibly with Ioannidis). The match, part of the 23rd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Vasco Botelho da Costa, will be played at 18:00, at the Estádio Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas, in Moreira de Cónegos.
