Fernando Santos did not survive the loss in the quarter-finals of the World Cup to Morocco.
Another team participating in the World Cup fired the head coach. Fernando Santos, coach of the national team of Portugal, lost his position. This was reported by the country’s Football Federation.
The 68-year-old specialist was not forgiven for the team’s loss in the World Cup quarterfinal match against Morocco.
The former head coach was able to comment on his resignation, thanking the team for their long-term joint work.
“I leave the team with great gratitude, being a coach of the national team, representing the country is a privilege. It is a dream that I have realized, a goal that I have achieved.
I want to thank the players I have worked with since 2014, all without exception. When you lead a team, you have to make difficult choices, and of course there will always be people who are unhappy with the decisions made. But I always accept them for the sake of the national team.
I also want to thank my colleagues, the federation, everyone I worked with. Finally, I want to thank the Portuguese fans. Now I will be one of you – among the millions who support the national team,” Santos Record quotes.
Santos has led the Portugal national team since 2014. Under his leadership, the national team achieved the most important success in its history, winning the 2016 European Championship and becoming the winner of the 2019 Nations League.
We will remind, earlier due to the loss of the national team of Morocco, the head coach of the national team of Spain, Luis Enrique, lost his position.
