Sporting is the seventh club to change coaches this season

Sporting CP has announced the departure of coach Rui Borges, marking the seventh managerial change in the Primeira Liga this season. Borges, who led the team to a league title and a Portuguese Cup victory, struggled in the current season, leaving the club third in the standings. His tenure included a strong Champions League run, reaching the quarter-finals. The club is now in search of a new coach, with Paulo Fonseca being a potential candidate. Borges's departure comes ahead of an important Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk, amid growing criticism of his performance.
