Sporting

After another year of disappointment under Paulo Sérgio and later José Couceiro, a revolution took place at Alvalade. The new President Godinho Lopes, with the help of the experienced directors Carlos Freitas and Luis Duque, has spent like never before and signed 15 new players. The hopes of the 'Lions' have been placed in the hands of former Braga coach Domingos Paciência, who has exciting new talent like Diego Capel, Jeffren Suarez, Stjin Schaars or Ricky van Wolfswinkel at his disposal, in his quest to transform Sporting in a team capable of challenging for the league title once again or even shock the world in the Europa League.
