After the defeat in the game against Serbia (1-2) and the confirmation of Portugal’s presence in the 2022 World Cup qualifying play-off, Fernando Santos was highly criticized.
Luís Castro, current coach of Al-Duhail do Qatar, defended the selector, in an interview with Bola Branca, from Rádio Renascença: «I hope Fernando Santos will be in the squad for another ten years and win more titles. The place is very well delivered.”
Asked about the future, the coach does not hide that, one day, he aims to represent Portugal: «It is a goal for me to be coach of the national team and not of the A, B or C team. Portugal is like a Formula 1 grid. first places and I have to accept. For that reason, I don’t see this as a priority in my career. Now, who doesn’t want to be national coach and represent their country? Everyone wants it and I don’t run away from the rule».
