Poland gives Second chance to Fernando Santos

The latest defeat by Albania made the atmosphere even more "heavy" for Fernando Santos, who took over the reins on January 24, but for now he has Poland "stuck" in 4th place in the Euro 2024 qualifiers

The Polish national team's progress so far in the 5th qualifying group of EURO 2024 is disheartening, as it counts only two home wins (2-0 N. Faroe Islands, 1-0 Albania) and three away defeats (3-1 in the Czech Republic , 3-2 in Moldova, 2-0 in Albania) and has made its position unimaginably difficult.


The latest defeat by Albania made the atmosphere even more "heavy" for Fernando Santos, who took over the reins on January 24, but for now he has Poland "stuck" in 4th place in the standings and two points behind the Czech Republic and Moldova.


Despite the fact that in recent days there has been very intense pressure to end the cooperation with the Portuguese coach, the Polish media reported on Tuesday (12/9) that the federation is willing to support him and give him a second chance until the final of the qualifying series.


On Tuesday morning (12/9), Santos met for more than two hours with high-ranking officials of the Polish federation and it was decided to continue their joint course, while he will support even if the Polish team does not win one of the first two places, having one last chance through the Final Four of the Nations League.
