The Premier League champions are due to undergo a significant revamp of their first-team squad options this summer, coinciding with the arrival of a new sporting director to replace the long-standing Txiki Begiristain.
After 12 seasons working on Manchester City squads, Sporting’s Hugo Viana will take on the position full-time in the summer, and will immediately be charged with ensuring Pep Guardiola has a squad at his disposal to challenge for the biggest honours once again.
