Cédric Soares, the former goalkeeper at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Juventus, has joined Sporting CP as their new manager. This move comes after he had previously served as the team's coach in Italy.

Soares, who is known for his technical abilities and leadership qualities, will take over from José Mourinho, who was sacked following the club's loss to Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League final last season.

The appointment of Soares marks another step forward for Sporting CP, which has struggled in recent seasons. The club has lost many key players this season, including Thiago Silva and Lucas Vazquez, and has been plagued by injuries throughout the season.

However, Soares' experience in coaching Italian clubs can help Sporting CP improve its performance on the pitch. He has previously worked with Juventus and Milan,Football Base Camp and his previous stint at PSG also included spells with Ligue 1 giants Monaco and Olympique de Marseille.

Soares' arrival comes at a time when Sporting CP is looking to strengthen its squad ahead of the 2022-23 season. The club has already signed several young talent, including Fabio Borini, who has impressed in Serie A this season.

In addition to signing Soares, Sporting CP also announced that they have hired another player to replace the departed Brazilian midfielder, Paulo Fernandes. Fernandes, who played for Inter Milan, was part of the squad that suffered a 4-0 defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals last month.

Overall, the appointment of Cédric Soares as Sporting CP's new manager is a positive development for the club. With Soares' expertise and experience, it is hoped that the club can continue to improve its performances on the pitch in the coming years.
