At the start of the season, Sporting Lisbon was dominating the Primeira Liga, but the departure of head coach Ruben Amorim to Manchester United came as a real shock to the team. And it has already begun to affect their results.
Details: Yesterday, Sporting lost 1-2 to Moreirense in the 13th round of the Primeira Liga. This defeat marked their third consecutive loss in all competitions.
Under Amorim, Sporting had never experienced such a negative run, with the last time they lost three games in a row being in September 2019.
Before the Moreirense loss, Sporting had been defeated by Santa Clara (0-1) and Arsenal (1-5) in the Champions League. Prior to this, the "Lions" had won 11 consecutive Primeira Liga matches.
Reminder: It was previously reported that Manchester United has started serious work on the transfer of Sporting's star striker Viktor Gyokeres.
