Joao Pereira to replace Amorim as Sporting coach
Joao Pereira will take over from Manchester United-bound Ruben Amorim as head coach of Sporting Lisbon, the Portuguese champions announced on Monday.
The 40-year-old will step up from his role as reserve-team boss following Amorim's departure to Old Trafford.
Pereira has signed a contract until 2027, club president Frederico Varandas told a press conference.
"It's a source of pride, a privilege and an honour to be presented at Sporting," said Pereira.
The former Portuguese international right-back, who enjoyed three spells at Sporting as a player, said he was well "prepared" for his new challenge.
Sporting staged a dramatic fightback from two goals down to win 4-2 at Braga on Sunday in Amorim's final match in charge and maintain their 100-percent record in the Primeira Liga this season.
Amorim left to take over at Man United following the sacking of Erik ten Hag after a golden spell in the Portuguese capital, taking Sporting to their first league title in 19 years in 2021 before regaining the trophy last season.
They also sit second in the Champions League table after thumping Manchester City 4-1 last week in Amorim's last home game as coach.
