Sporting stalwart reveals who decided to drop St Juste | OneFootball

In anticipation of Famalicão - Sporting, Rui Borges assures that the decision to demote Jeremiah St Juste was made by the entire structure

Demoting Jeremiah St Juste to Sporting's B team was not a decision made by Rui Borges, but by the entire structure. The center back was no longer in the coach's plans and, with no solution found for his departure, the choice ended up being a demotion to the secondary squad.

"The President said it all, the answer was clear to me as well. We had identified early on, he was in fifth place in the position and for all he is to the group, his departure was the plan. Since the end of the season this was discussed, well identified, we are all in sync", said Rui Borges, in the preview of the match with Famalicão.

Asked if it would be possible, under certain circumstances, for a potential return of the 'number 3', Rui Borges was adamant and ruled out any chance of counting on the Dutch center back again: "The squad is those who work with us".

As for the choice to demote St Juste, Rui Borges did not want to elaborate: "I have already answered that, it was a decision in its entirety, it involves everyone, everyone has an opinion and it was what we thought best for the group. Locker room atmosphere? It's good".
