Even the most successful marriages sometimes come to an end. And this is the case of the Zezito's one, a recognized name in Portuguese and worldwide futsal, a kind of legend of our sport. While Benfica and Belenenses are fighting for the lusitan title, the shocking news was confirmed by Sporting CP management: José Dias, in futsal known as Zézito, won't be part of the 2009/2010 roster of the white and green lisbon side.

Twelve years (not a mistake, 12!) with Sporting, seven years representing the leões as team captain: something enough for the lisbon club in order to withdraw the shirt n° 5, no player will wear it anymore.

This is not anyway the end of the Zezito impressive career, as the portuguese pivot will play for SL Olivais in the next season, together with another one former Sporting player who has just left the club, Bibi.

Sporting also renounced to Paulinho and to the third goalkeeper Sandro, but called back Evandro and also signed Rè from Sassoeiros.
