Qatar 2022: Ronaldo’s manager sacked after World Cup exit

Date:

Fernando Santos has been sacked as the Portugal head coach, according to SportsMail.

The former European champions crashed out of the 2022 World Cup, following a 1-0 defeat to Morocco in the quarter-finals.

The 68-year-old famously led Portugal to European Championships triumph in 2016 and won UEFA’s inaugural Nations League in 2018/2019.

Santos has been in charge for the last eight years.

But now, the Portuguese Football Federation (PFF) are now hunting for a new head coach ahead of their Euro 2024 campaign.

Santos chose to drop captain Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of his side’s last-16 clash against Switzerland and Morocco.

He had lost patience with the 37-year-old following his angry reaction after being substituted against South Korea during the group stage.
