Portugal will have to overcome Jose Mourinho 's own doubts if they are to appoint him as the successor to Fernando Santos.
Santos is on the verge of getting sacked by the Portuguese FA after a World Cup campaign that saw them stunned by Morocco in the quarter-finals. Though he won the country's first ever major trophy at Euro 2016, results at major tournaments since then have been disappointing.
They were knocked out in the last 16 at the World Cup four years ago and reached that same stage at Euro 2020. Santos is now battling to save his job, though it appears likely he will leave his post.
