Roberto Martinez named new Portugal head coach

Roberto Martinez has been named the new head coach of the Portugal national team. The 49-year-old was discharged from his duties from the Belgian national team after the 2022 World Cup. And now, he has taken up a new challenge in the form of the golden generation of Portugal. 

The likes of Goncalo Ramos, Rafael Leao, Joao Felix, Ruben Dias and Diogo Costa are all expected to play a big part in their future. And Martinez will have huge expectations to deliver with yet another talented group of players at his disposal. 

Roberto Martinez announced as new Portugal head coach 

After being eliminated by Morocco in the quarter finals of the 2022 World Cup – Fernando Santos was sacked as the head coach of the national team. During his eight-year spell in charge of the national team, Santos won the 2016 Euros. 

Portugal are currently ranked ninth in the FIFA World rankings. The 2024 Euros will be the next major tournament that we will see them compete at. And it will be interesting to see how things play out under a new manager in charge of the lineup. 

“We’re going to start a footballing process to try to get to know all the players that could join this national team,” Roberto Martinez said. “We’re going to give all the players an opportunity and respect everyone who’s already in the national team.”

“Cristiano is one of them. being able to have them by my side. It’s a process that we have to face naturally, with responsibility, and we’re going to make important decisions for the team.” 

“Cristiano is part of that list, he spent 19 years with the national team and deserves respect, let’s talk,” he added. “From there, it’s up to me to make the best list for the European Championship. Tomorrow we’ll start working, getting to know all the players, and Cristiano is one of them.”
