Fernando Santos, Ronaldo’s Manager, Sacked After World Cup Exit by Odewaleadesoye(m): 7:49pm On Dec 15, 2022
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.

I love Ronaldo but I will always choose Messi over him.

Ronaldo is very good as a footballer and has set many records but he is too arrogant.

If he's scoring as usual you won't hear pim from him but once he didn't score he will start seeking for sympathy.

Life is about chop make I chop.

It can't be one person always.

Truth be told, C. Ronaldo is very good and hardworking and I will forever wish him well.

Well deserved.
You don't bench a super star like Ronaldo because of personal diff. When ego clashes that what you get as your reward.

one of the reasons I love Ronaldo is that he doesn't pretend to you. I will choose an arrogant and truthful friend over a gentle and let-it-slide friend.

Many hate him because of it but I love him so much. He's the greatest footballer of all Time to me.

I can't stand the day he will eventually retire from this beautiful game. Viva Ronaldo!!!

Resigned is better than sacked. The man has tried. Better than Belgium's Martinez, England's Southgate

Pity...! Sacking him was unnecessary.

The only mistake he made was not starting Leao!
