Sebastián Coates, the 33-year-old defender, wants to stay another season at Sporting to attack the championship alongside Rúben Amorim. He remains a fundamental pillar of a Sporting with a champion's DNA. Coates will go on vacation with the certainty of having to report back to work in Alcochete to start preparing for the next season, which means that he will have renewed the contract that expires at the end of next month for another season, thus fulfilling the wish of both parties.

Sebastián Coates is staying another year in Alvalade - the Uruguayan central defender's contract was ending at the end of the season but he has a guaranteed place in the new season, an announcement that should be made before the defender goes on vacation, after the final of the Portugal Cup.
