"This represents continuity, as well as innovation", affirms candidacy representative Daniel Sampaio

Bruno de Carvalho officially formalised his presidential bid this week, in a ceremony hosted at the club. The Alvalade chief's entire team were also in attendance, along with General Assembly president Jaima Marta Soares and candidacy representative Daniel Sampaio.

"We had fulfilled the first step in formalising our bid and we have handed in the necessary documents. This represents continuity, as well as innovation. We want to carry on with the orject that we started four years ago", said Daniel Sampaio.

Jaime Marta Soares, who officially received the bid, highlighted the importance of the approaches taken by candidates: "The election process has gone as normal so far. I would like to see people discuss ideas, projects and proposals, while upholding respect and bearing in mind that we are talking about a club as big as Sporting CP."

Pedro Madeira Rodrigues is also set to formally table his bid tomorrow.
