Fernando Santos, The Manager Of Portugal, Resigns After The World Cup

Fernando Santos has resigned as Portugal’s manager.

After Portugal’s shocking 1-0 quarterfinal World Cup loss to Morocco, the 68-year-old departs.

Santos oversaw Portugal for eight years, winning the 2016 Euro Championship and the 2019 Uefa Nations League with the squad.

However, his decision to bench Cristiano Ronaldo for the Qatar 2022 semifinal matches overshadowed his final games.

Ronaldo’s harsh response to being replaced during the last group match against South Korea led Santos to decide to bench the 37-year-old before to the last-16 encounter with Switzerland.
