Under Vercauteren, a former Belgium and Anderlecht coach, Sporting recorded two wins, five losses and four draws in 11 matches. He took charge in November and was the club's second coach this season.
Sporting is 12th in the 16-club Portuguese league and was knocked out of the Europa League. The team hasn't won the Portuguese title since the 2001-02 season.
