In a significant turning point for one of Portugal’s prestigious football clubs, Sporting Lisbon have officially appointed Joao Pereira as their new head coach. This appointment follows the departure of Ruben Amorim to Manchester United, leaving a notable vacancy for this ambitious club.
Pereira, who previously wore the Trabzonspor jersey for four seasons from 2017 to 2021, has proven his worth on and off the pitch. The exciting announcement was made on the club’s social media channels, showing their confidence in the young tactician with the slogan: “A new armband, the same ambition.” This reflects the club’s aspiration to maintain its competitive edge in both domestic and European tournaments.
Having hung up his boots at the end of the 2020-2021 season, Pereira made the transition to a coaching role without a hitch. Prior to his current position, he successfully managed the B team and also took charge of the U23 set-up at Sporting, illustrating a strong foundation in talent development. His time in the Trendyol Super League in Turkey saw him contribute significantly, scoring three goals and providing 19 assists — statistics that underline his passing abilities during his time on the pitch.
