As expected, Portugal head coach Fernando Santos has been sacked from his post. The Portuguese Football Federation announced the termination of cooperation with the 68-year-old specialist the day before.
Santos has coached the Portuguese national team since 2014. Under the guidance of this mentor, the Portuguese national team became the European champion in 2016, and also won the 2018/19 Nations League.
At the 2022 World Cup, the Portuguese team under the leadership of Santos reached the 1/4 finals, where they lost to the Moroccan team (0:1).
We add that Santos became the ninth coach among those who were dismissed from their positions as coaches of the teams that took part in the World Cup in Qatar. Earlier, the fate of the Portuguese suffered Gerardo Martino (Mexico), Otto Addo (Ghana), Carlos Queiroz (Iran), Paulo Bento (South Korea), Roberto Martinez (Belgium), Luis Enrique (Spain), Tite (Brazil), Louis Van Gala ( Netherlands).
но он молодец всё же многого добился с этой командой
