The Polish Football Association employed former Portugal supervisor Fernando Santos as their new coach Tuesday.
“‘We’ and ‘win’ — these are the words that guide me in national teams and the words that the players hear from me at the first training camp,” Santos mentioned after the signing ceremony.
“I had the opportunity to watch four Polish matches at the World Cup. In the past, I also competed with the Polish national team. Now we will analyze the team’s performance and then make appropriate decisions,” he added.
Santos, who previously served as coach for Portugal and Greece, led the Selecao to win the EURO 2016 and 2018-19 Nations League titles.
The 68-year-old’s deal will run for 3 and half years, spanning EURO 2024 and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Poland will kick off the EURO 2024 qualifiers in March, going through the Czech Republic at Prague’s Sinobo stadium.
