After the departure of Fernando Santos, the Portuguese Federation can appoint a coach working in the French League as the new coach.
After eight years of experience, Fernando Santos officially left the Portugal squad after being eliminated by Morocco in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar. “The Portuguese Football Federation and Fernando Santos have agreed to put an end to the very successful journey that began in September 2014, we can read in the Portuguese Football Federation press release. It has been an honor to be able to count on a coach and coach.” Someone like Fernando Santos at the head of the national team.”
Younger coach for the Seleção?
Who will succeed him? This is the question all Portuguese are asking themselves today. There are many candidates, including a coach working in the French championship. That would be Paulo Fonseca.
Although Paulo Fonseca is under contract with LOSC, he will agree to take charge of the Seleção. In his view, it is an honor and dedication and he cannot imagine missing this opportunity. Even if it means leaving things in limbo in northern France. The 46-year-old Mozambican national left his country in 2016 after (convincing) experiences in Pacos Ferreira, Braga and Porto.
Note that Fonseca is not the No. 1 candidate to move to the Portuguese bench. The priority of Al-Ittihad will be for Jose Mourinho, if we trust what was reported by the O Jogo website in today’s edition.
