Sporting Lisbon's season of tumult took another turn on Saturday when the Liga Sagres club sacked manager Paulo Sergio.
The 18-time league champions' financial problems have led to the sale of several key members of the playing squad, while things have hardly been better off the pitch.
President Jose Eduardo Bettencourt and football director Costinha have both departed the club in the past month, with the former resigning and the latter sacked.
