A quarter-final defeat against Morocco ended Santos’ era at Portugal.

Fernando Santos leaves the Portuguese national team after his side’s underwhelming displays in the 2022 World Cup.

Santos came under fire for not starting Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal’s last two games in the tournament.

Morocco stunned Santos’ men with a 1-0 win to end their World Cup campaign in the quarter-finals. The 68-year-old boss ends his successful stint as Portugal’s manager, which saw them claim the European Championship in 2016.

A statement from the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) reads: “The FPF and Fernando Santos agreed to end the highly successful journey that began in September 2014.

“After one of the best participations ever by the national team in the final stages of the World Cup, in Qatar, FPF and Fernando Santos understand that this is the right moment to start a new cycle.

The Portuguese superstar is keeping himself fit as he plans to continue his club career with a winter move.

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly returned to Real Madrid’s training ground after his World Cup campaign ended last weekend.

According to Spanish outlet Revelo, Ronaldo has returned to Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training ground to work on his individual programme.

It marks the first time Ronaldo has returned to his former club’s training facilities since his exit in 2018. 

Ronaldo has reportedly avoided contacting his former teammates over his decision to use the training ground. However, his presence has excited Real Madrid’s younger players, who were thrilled to see the club legend bless them

The 37-year-old was left in tears after the referee blew the final whistle, knowing he had played his final World Cup game for Portugal.

On Sunday, Ronaldo published an emotional statement, mourning his failure to reach “the biggest and most ambitious dream” of his career.

NBA legend Lebron James commented “LEGEND” under Ronaldo’s Instagram post.

The Portuguese superstar is without a club after leaving Man Utd last month.

William Gallas believes Chelsea must use their “good opportunity” to sign Cristiano Ronaldo this winter.

Manchester United terminated Ronaldo’s contract after his explosive interview with Piers Morgan last month.

Gallas believes the 37-year-old is a perfect solution for Chelsea’s goalscoring problems under Graham Potter.

“What I know is Todd Boehly wanted Cristiano Ronaldo in his squad when Thomas Tuchel did not,” the former Chelsea star said.

“Maybe it’s a good opportunity for six months to bring Ronaldo to Chelsea. But as he said, if he wins a World Cup, he’ll retire!

“It would be good for Ronaldo to go to Chelsea so he can still play in the Champions
