Joao pereira

Sporting CP: Sporting CP has appointed Joao Pereira as the first team's head coach after Ruben Amorim ended his tenure short to join Manchester United, a move that materialised on Monday.

The 40-year old retired from his playing days in 2021 and has been working with Sporting, coaching the side's B team.

Pereira certainly finds himself in an unusual situation as Sporting is currently sitting in first place in Liga Portugal that too having maintained a 100% winning streak.
