After Portugal's loss in the World Cup quarterfinals against Morocco, a peculiar era came to an end in the Portuguese national team.

It is currently unclear whether Cristiano Ronaldo will continue to represent the national team, but there should be changes in the position of head coach.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Fernando Santos is expected to be dismissed in the coming days.

After the defeat, the 68-year-old coach himself said: "Tomorrow I will fly to Lisbon, where, as always, I will discuss my future with the federation president."

Fernando Santos has been leading the Portugal national team since 2014, and under his leadership in 2016, the team triumphed in the European Championship.
