Eight games after Ruben Amorim said an emotional farewell to the Sporting players and supporters, it is clear. Portuguese Record reports the decision has been made to sack the replacement for the successful coach who left for Old Trafford.
In November, assistant coach Joao Pereira was elevated as head coach. Victory in the first game was promising, then came loss, after loss, after loss.
From ravaging the Champions League and topping the Portuguese league, came ugly losses in both the CL and the domestic league. The void left by Amorim was definitely not filled by Pereira.
According to the Record, Sporting have made the decision to sack former Sporting player Pereira, A Bola reports the club has already prepared for Guimaraes coach Rui Borges to take over. Negotiations are ongoing, the goal is for Pereira to be replaced with Borges already for Sunday’s big game against Benfica.
