End of cycle for Fernando Santos. The selector will deselect

ECycle change in the national team is just around the corner. According to the newspaper A Bola, Fernando Santos will leave the technical leadership of the national team in the coming days, after his participation in the World Cup ends.

The coach has a contract with the Portuguese Football Federation until 2024, but he will sign an amicable termination, ending a relationship that has been going on since 2014.

The same source emphasizes that there is no rush to finalize the divorce between the parties, not least because the ties that bind Fernando Santos to the FPF are more complex than one might think. The agreement between the federative body is with Femacosa and it is through this company that Fernando Santos receives remuneration for both the selector and the technical team.

As for the successor to the 68-year-old coach, Fernando Gomes, leader of the FPF, has already begun to scout the market to identify potential new coaches. The table, according to the newspaper A Bola, lists the names of Portuguese and foreign coaches.
