Qatar 2022: Portugal Sack Manager After Quarter Final Exit

Coach of the Selecao- Portuguese national team, Fernando Santos, has been sacked following the team’s World Cup exit.

Portugal were one of the favourites to win the competition in Qatar but were knocked out by Morocco in the quarter-finals.

The Sun reported that Santos has led the team successfully to the top of their World Cup group before hammering Switzerland 6-1 in the round of 16.

Portugal won two of their group games as they beat Ghana and Uruguay, although they did lose to South Korea.

It has been reported that former Chelsea and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is the Portugal chiefs’ favourite to take the job.

The Portuguese FA would like to have the current Roma boss in position well before the next campaign.
