Sporting bids farewell to Rui Borges with praise for the coach's legacy

Sporting Lisbon bid farewell to coach Rui Borges, praising his contributions and legacy at the club. The announcement followed a Champions League victory against Shakhtar Donetsk, with Tiago Fernandes temporarily taking over. Borges, who led the team to a national championship and a cup victory, leaves after nearly two seasons amid mixed results. His tenure included a record performance in the Champions League, reaching the quarter-finals. Despite some disappointing outcomes, including a loss in the Super Cup and a surprising defeat in the cup final, Borges's overall record stands at 64 wins in 99 matches. He previously managed several clubs before joining Sporting.
