New head coach dismissed only six weeks after being appointed as Ruben Amorim's replacement.

In November, Ruben Amorim made the bold decision to leave his role as head coach of Sporting Lisbon to take charge of Manchester United. This left Sporting in a bit of a bind, as they had to quickly find a replacement for their successful manager. They turned to Joao Pereira, who had been leading the team's B squad. However, after just six weeks, Pereira has been let go from his position as head coach.

Sporting's decision to part ways with Pereira comes after a string of disappointing results under his leadership. In the eight games he managed, the team suffered four losses and fell behind their rivals Benfica in the Primeira Liga. This was not the outcome the club had hoped for when they promoted Pereira to replace Amorim.

But Sporting wasted no time in finding a new head coach, announcing the appointment of Rui Borges, a 43-year-old from Vitoria Guimaraes. Borges expressed his excitement for the opportunity, stating that he is proud to lead the Portuguese champions and is ready for the challenge.

Pereira's short stint as head coach was his first experience managing a first-team, and unfortunately, it did not go as planned. However, he remains optimistic and grateful for the opportunity he was given. Sporting's decision to let him go may have been a disappointment, but Pereira understands that things happen for a reason and he will continue to work towards his goals.

Meanwhile, Amorim has begun his journey with Manchester United, and it has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride so far. His first game ended in a draw against Ipswich Town, but the team bounced back with a convincing 4-0 win over Everton. However, their momentum was short-lived as they suffered their first defeat under Amorim's leadership against Arsenal. And just when it seemed like they had turned things around with a victory over Manchester City, they were brought back down to earth with a crushing 3-0 loss to AFC Bournemouth.

Despite these ups and downs, Amorim remains determined to lead United to success. His move to the Premier League was a big step, but he is ready for the challenge and is determined to make a name for himself in one of the toughest leagues in the world. Only time will tell how his journey with United will unfold, but one thing is for sure, he will give it his all to bring success to the club.
