Portugal's Expectations for World Cup Qatar 2022

There is no doubt that the Portuguese National Team had high expectations for the World Cup Qatar 2022. While in previous years the team did not have the necessary tools to compete for the title, this time they had some of the best players on the planet.

Unfortunately, one of the most criticized aspects of the team was the coaching of Fernando Santos. The coach was widely questioned by fans after benching Cristiano Ronaldo for two important matches, which led to him being pointed out as one of the main culprits for Portugal's elimination against Morocco.

After Santos' departure, Portugal has decided to turn the page and take a new direction. It was revealed that the chosen one to continue the work of the coach is Roberto Martinez, who was also present in Qatar, but with the Belgium National Team. Unfortunately, Lukaku and De Bruyne's team could not repeat their good performances from Russia 2018, and they were eliminated in the group stage.

In recent years, the Spanish coach has shown the ability to manage competitive teams. In fact, he is considered one of the most important strategists that have passed through Swansea and Wigan Athletic, historic clubs in England.

For now, it has not been confirmed if the new coach intends to call up 'CR7'. Throughout his career, Martinez has had a difficult relationship with various players, so it remains to be seen how he will get along with his new squad.
