In the [[2014–15 Sporting Clube de Portugal season|2014–15 season]], Sporting won their 16th [[2014–15 Taça de Portugal|Portuguese Cup]] in dramatic fashion. The Lisbon side, led by [[Marco Silva]], played the final against [[S.C. Braga|Braga]], and after a disastrous start, found themselves losing 0–2 at half-time and playing with ten men after the sending-off of [[Cédric Soares]]. With the final seemingly lost, [[Islam Slimani]] gave some hope to the fans as he scored the 1–2 on the 83-minute. In stoppage time, [[Fredy Montero]] managed to equalize, forcing extra-time. Sporting ultimately won the match 3–1 on penalties.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.portugoal.net/club-news/212-sporting-win-a-dramatic-taca-de-portugal-final-on-penalties|title = Sporting win dramatic Taça de Portugal final on penalties|date = 31 May 2015|access-date = 26 December 2015|website = portugoal.net|archive-date = 20 June 2015|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150620001420/http://www.portugoal.net/club-news/212-sporting-win-a-dramatic-taca-de-portugal-final-on-penalties|url-status = live}}</ref> Celebrations ended in a pacific pitch invasion of Estádio José Alvalade by the fans, as the club touched silverware for the first time in seven years.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://pt.uefa.com/memberassociations/news/newsid=2252987.html|title = Sporting vence Taça de Portugal|date = 2015-05-31|access-date = 2015-11-24|website = [[UEFA]]|publisher = UEFA|archive-date = 23 July 2018|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180723093207/https://pt.uefa.com/memberassociations/news/newsid=2252987.html|url-status = dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.ojogo.pt/futebol/1a-liga/sporting/noticias/interior/festa-de-alvalade-termina-com-invasao-de-campo-4599604.html|title = Festa de Alvalade termina com invasão de campo|date = 2015-05-31|access-date = 2015-11-24|website = ojogo.pt|publisher = Jornal "O Jogo"|archive-date = 23 July 2018|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180723040148/https://www.ojogo.pt/futebol/1a-liga/sporting/noticias/interior/festa-de-alvalade-termina-com-invasao-de-campo-4599604.html|url-status = live}}</ref>

In June 2015, [[Jorge Jesus]] joined Sporting after Benfica opted not to renew his contract as coach of the club, signing a three-year contract. Presented as the new manager of the club on 1 July, the managerial change took the rivalry of both Lisbon clubs to new heights.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://expresso.sapo.pt/desporto/2015-07-01-Os-sete-espinhos-de-Jesus|title = Os sete espinhos de Jesus|date = 1 July 2015|access-date = 23 December 2015|website = expresso.sapo.pt|publisher = Nicolau Santos|archive-date = 23 December 2015|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151223170703/http://expresso.sapo.pt/desporto/2015-07-01-Os-sete-espinhos-de-Jesus|url-status = live}}</ref> Under Jesus' tenure, Sporting won the [[Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira|Portuguese Super Cup]] for the eighth time, against [[2014–15 Primeira Liga|back-to-back champions]] Benfica.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.jn.pt/PaginaInicial/Desporto/Interior.aspx?content_id=4722474|title = Sporting vence Benfica (1–0) e conquista oitava Supertaça|date = 9 August 2015|access-date = 23 December 2015|website = jn.pt|last = Silva|first = Susana|archive-date = 23 December 2015|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151223154746/http://www.jn.pt/PaginaInicial/Desporto/Interior.aspx?content_id=4722474|url-status = live}}</ref> Despite a positive start, Sporting did not win any other trophy, finishing second in the [[2015–16 Primeira Liga|Primeira Liga]] with 86 points, two points behind Benfica, despite breaking their own points record in the league.
