Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes has supported former national team coach Fernando Santos, who left his post after the 2022 World Cup.
- I am grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to prove myself in the national team. I will always remember your trust. As a Portuguese, I thank you for making our national team the best in Europe and giving back to a small country the belief that it can be among the greats. We had moments of joy, there were moments of disappointment, but we wrote a story that will forever remain in our hearts, said Bruno Fernandes.
