Contract until 2027
Amorim departure: Sporting present new coach
Following the departure of Ruben Amorim to Manchester United, Sporting Lisbon have appointed Joao Pereira as their new head coach.
The 40-year-old has been given a contract until 2027, as the Portuguese soccer champions announced on Monday. The former defender made 154 appearances as a player at Sporting - most recently under Amorim in 2021, when the club won the league title. Pereira most recently worked in the youth sector at Sporting and managed the B team.
Sporting lead the Portuguese championship with 33 points from 11 games, six points ahead of Porto and eight ahead of Benfica. In the Champions League, they are in second place with ten points from four games, and the capital club celebrated a 2:0 victory at Sturm Graz in October.
