Portugal confirms Roberto Martinez's departure as head coach

Roberto Martinez took charge of Portugal in 2018 and guided the side to the Euro 2024 final before a disappointing campaign in the Euro 2026 qualifiers. The team fell 2‑0 to Spain in the round of 16, prompting the federation to confirm his departure.

Officials said a new coach will be appointed soon and thanked Martinez for his contributions. Fans across the country are now debating the next direction for the national squad.
