[center]Sporting CP or Sporting, or known as Sporting Lisbon in
other countries,is a Portuguese sports club based in Lisbon.
Having various sports departments and sporting disciplines,it is
best known for its men's professional football team playing in
the Primeira Liga, the top flight of Portuguese football.
Sporting are nicknamed Leões (Lions), for the symbol used in the
middle of the club's crest, and Verde e Brancos (Green and
Whites), for the shirt colour that are in (horizontal) stripes.
Sporting is the third most decorated Portuguese football team,
with 58 major trophies. Domestically, they have won 21 League
titles, 18 Taças de Portugal, a joint-record of 4 Campeonato de
Portugal, 4 Taças da Liga and 9 Supertaças Cândido de Oliveira.
In Europe, they won the 1963–64 European Cup Winners' Cup and
were runners-up at the UEFA Cup in 2005 and at the Latin Cup in
1949. Sporting played in the first European Champions Cup match
on 4 September 1955, by invitation, and has participated in the
most editions of UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League (36), a tournament
in which they have the most matches played and the second most
matches won,[22] and where they are ranked first in the all-time
club ranking.[/center]
[center]The club take their place in the Championship Division
next season and have just overnight appointed "MIKEY" as the new
Head Coach to lead the club. Fan are excited the club have been
elected to Championship after seeing bitter rivals Benfica and
FC Porto playing in the top flight.
Fans have posted on social media their delight with FC Porto
being relegated and the two clubs will face each other next
season and should be very interesting derby matches...
Luis Suarez will be one if the key forwards, Goncalves and
Uruguayan midfielders Zalazar and Maxi Araujo will be very
important to the Head Coach.
Inacio and Diomande likely to be mainstay of defense and on
paper Sporting have a good team and will be interesting to see
how the new Head Coach sets his team up in pre
season...[/center]

[center]New Sporting boss "MIKEY" has wasted no time in being
ruthless with the squad at the club making announcements and
transfer listings straight away. The boss has sent 5 players to
the Sporting Academy with Silva, Ibrahima Ba, Joao Simoes, Jesse
Derry and F Goncalves.
Then the following players have been transfer listed Quaresma,
Andersen, Lima, Doumbia, Catamo, Ioanndis and Rafael Nel.
Its clear the new boss wants to build his own team and stamp is
mark on the club, no targets have been leaked out of the club as
yet but we do know that the boss does favour fast, pacey
strikers and natural scorers.
The club have announced they will be looking at building
facilities and expanding the network of the Sporting CP brand
and wanting to be the no 1 club in Portugal....
