The Reds, for their part, allegedly hope to complete an agreement with the former Braga boss on his potential contract ‘next week’.

One step closer to the Primeira Liga title

It’s a victory that sees the Lisbon-based outfit clear room between itself and city rivals Benfica at the top of the table.

What better way to transition to Anfield than by securing the title once more for Sporting?
