The Sporting Academy once ranks with the world's elite

The Sporting Academy is again attracting the headlines, this time named in the world top 15 by the German version of the ‘90min’ site.

Aurélio Pereira’s role as one of the “most experienced European coaches” is also noted, with 90min also citing the examples of Cristiano Ronaldo, Quaresma, Simão and Nani as products of the academy, as well as the millions of euros generated from player transfers.
