“Sporting”, which is a rival to the Poltava “Vorskla” in the group stage of the Europa League, dismissed the head coach Jose Pezeiro.

On the termination of cooperation with the Portuguese coach reports the official website of the "lions".

The reasons for dismissal the club does not specify. But most likely, the last straw was the defeat of the Lisbon in the League Cup from Estoril (1: 2).

Now the “lions” occupy the fifth place in the standings of the Championship of Portugal, and also go second in the group of the Europa League, where the Ukrainian Vorskla also performs.

His next game, “Sporting” will hold on Thursday, November 8, in the framework of the 4th round of the Europa League against London “Arsenal”.
