Sporting, the prestigious Portuguese league, is crying over the aftermath of coach Ruben Amorim's transfer.

João Pereira was appointed as the successor coach, but as he fell into a severe poor performance, he began to be replaced.

According to Portuguese media on the 24th (Korea time), the Sporting club began considering dismissal six weeks after Pereira's inauguration. The reason is poor grades. Since Pereira's appointment, Sporting have lost four consecutive games, and they have won, drawn and lost one game in six official games, including the European Champions League and the Portuguese League (Premiera Liga).

As a result, Sporting, the league's leading team, lost the top spot to Benfica (12 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss) with 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Then, the anger of the fans reached its peak.

In the end, the team's leaders are expected to meet with Pereira after the Christmas break to discuss the specific timing of his retirement.

Local media reported that Pereira's dismissal was imminent, predicting that a decision would be made before the fateful derby against Benfica on the 30th.




Sporting are said to be in contact with a strong candidate for the next manager.
