Joao Pereira has been elevated to first-team manager following Ruben Amorim's departure. Pereira, who has extensive experience as a player, takes charge as Sporting looks to continue its winning momentum in the league.
Former manager Ruben Amorim praised Pereira’s readiness, stating: 'If you ask me if he's ready to take on other challenges, I'll say he is. He knows the club and the players well, and I have no doubt he will maintain our current success in the league.'
Pereira has had a rich playing history with over 400 games and 40 international caps, including participation in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. His coaching appointment signifies a move towards continuity and stability amidst managerial changes.
Luis Neto, a former team-mate of Pereira’s, has joined him as an assistant, along with a strong supporting team. This suggests Sporting's intent to leverage Pereira's familiarity with the club's ethos to foster ongoing success.
