The two candidates defeated by Frederico Varandas in the last Sporting elections speak of mismanagement by the current Leon leadership. In interviews with TSFRicardo Oliveira and Nuno Sousa criticize the way in which the president of the lions has been leading the club, but they understand that the board of directors has to carry the mandate to the end.
“Terms are there to be fulfilled. Obviously, if things get that bad, I think, politically, it will be very difficult for management to finish their term. We all hope that things stabilize,” says Nuno Sousa, who adds that “when elections, you don’t have to vote for coaches, but for a direction, for a project”.
Ricardo Oliveira is in line with the same speech, but he also understands that the path – for the good of the club – is not that of early elections: “I am a democrat. This board was elected, it has a mandate with all the legitimacy of being there Now I understand that there is enormous discontent and that people are beginning to think about changing course. It was heard yesterday at the stadium. Now, from there until we think about early elections, we must be calm.
In this interview to TSFRicardo Oliveira, candidate defeated in the last Sporting elections, evaluates the mandate of the current management, considering that Frederico Varandas does not reveal the necessary capacity to lead the club’s destinies: “I already said it a long time ago, and I will say it again, that The management of this management has been disastrous. Honestly, not because they are rude or dishonest people, but because they are people who do not have the capacity that is necessary to raise a club like Sporting and lead Sporting to be a candidate that returns to repeat the title and a competitive club out there”.
Nuno Sousa does not exempt Rúben Amorim from guilt, although he considers that the coach has not had the necessary defense. The former candidate says that the management hides behind the coach: “I see many responsibilities for Rúben Amorim, but I cannot assign him most of the responsibilities. There is a chain of command within the club and that chain of command is absent.” We can even say that he could lose due to non-attendance. When the foul knocked on the door, we see a sports management and the governing bodies, hidden behind Rúben Amorim”.
