Former Shakhtar Donetsk coach Luis Castro is on the list of candidates for the post of head coach of the Portuguese national team, Italian journalist Nicolo Schira reported on his Twitter.
The list, which also includes current Portugal under-21 coach Ruy Jorge and Leonardo Jardim, will become relevant should Fernando Santos lose his job.
We will remind, it was previously reported that the Portuguese Football Federation is preparing to fire the coach after the team’s departure from the 2022 World Cup to the quarterfinals, where the Portuguese lost to Morocco 0:1.
Santos’ current contract with the Portuguese national team runs until the end of Euro 2024.
