It was an open secret, it is now official. With Ruben Amorim leaving for Manchester United, Sporting CP had to find a new coach.
The club that dominates the Portuguese championship with 11 wins in 11 matches has bet on continuity with João Pereira.
Until then coach of the reserve team that plays in the third division, the 40-year-old technician will be rubbing shoulders with the jousts of the Portuguese first division.
Retired in 2021 while he was wearing the Sporting CP jersey, he had then won the Portuguese champion title with a certain Ruben Amorim as coach.
