About Rui Borges
The most important thing for a club is how its president reacts, more so in defeat than in victory. From Sunday until today, I’ve seen Rui Borges weakened and pressured, but where? On newspaper covers, on social media, by pseudo-notables… I’d like to say that all those variables count for nothing in Sporting’s decision.
If Rui Borges is not at risk if he has a bad start to the next season and if he doesn’t regret renewing his contract a few weeks ago.
Rui Borges is Sporting’s coach. Last year, while he was in charge of the team, he led them to all the decisive matches and won. This year he again led the team to the decisive matches and didn’t win. Rui Borges is our coach.
