Ronaldo’s former coach to join him in Middle East

Fernando Santos, a former Portugal head coach, might be on track to continue coaching in the Middle East.

Following a 2022 World Cup quarterfinal exit, Santos was fired by the former European champions.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the 68-year-old has received a few offers which he’s considering.

Romano tweeted: “Former Portugal head coach Fernando Santos, considering options for his next move.

“European & Chinese clubs have approached Santos but the most likely next destination is now Middle East.”

Santos famously dropped Cristiano Ronaldo for their last two fixtures in Qatar.

Ronaldo this week joined Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia as a free agent.
