Sporting has fired Joao Pereira as manager just eight matches after he replaced Ruben Amorim. Amorim was hired as manager of Manchester United earlier this season.
Sporting appointed Rui Borges as manager.
“The time for me is right,” Borges said at his unveiling. “It’s always right. I’m very positive, I believe things happen when they have to. It’s an opportunity we’ve all worked for.
“I’m the leader of the Portuguese champions and I couldn’t be happier. I look at the squad and it’s the best – it’s not even time to talk about signings.”
