The Polish Football Association will hold a press conference to announce the new coach on the afternoon of the 24th.
Poland achieved the achievement of advancing to the round of 16 at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, but since then, it has parted ways with coach Czesław Mihniewicz and has been looking for a new coach.
Initially, Poland put Bento, who had ended his accompaniment with the Korean national soccer team, as a leading candidate and even proceeded with negotiations, so there was a high possibility that Bento would go to Poland. However, he could not reach a final agreement with Bento, and after the World Cup in Qatar, he held the hand of coach Santos, who put down the Portuguese baton.
Santos led the Portuguese national football team to victory at UEFA Euro 2016. At the World Cup in Qatar, which was in a group with Korea, it advanced to the quarterfinals, but was eliminated due to a storm in Morocco.
