Ghana defender Lumor Agbenyenu will work under a new manager following the sacking of Jose Peseiro as manager of Sporting CP.
Lumor's manager was asked to leave the club on Thursday after the side's 2-1 defeat at home to Estoril in the Taça da Liga.
With the exit of the manager, assistant coach Tiago Fernandes has been tasked to take temporal charge of the team pending the appointment of a new manager.
Many believe the latest development at the club could be a blessing in disguise to Lumor Agbenyenu who is yet to kick a ball in the Primeira Liga.
The Ghanaian only marked his first debut for the side this season during the Cup match against Estoril on Wednesday.
Sporting are fifth in the Primeira Liga with 16 points from eight games, two behind leaders Porto, and second in their Europa League group.
