Ex-Portugal Manager Fernando Santos Takes On New Coaching Role

Fernando Santos, the former coach of Real Madrid’s iconic striker Cristiano Ronaldo, has been confirmed as the head coach for Poland’s national football team.

At a press conference on Tuesday, he was welcomed to the new role after leaving his post as Portugal’s manager following their unexpected quarter-final exit at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

During their time together in Portugal’s national side, Santos and Ronaldo made a formidable duo.

When speaking about this new challenge, Santos expressed his honour at being able to represent “a great country with an extremely rich history and culture” – Poland.
