Exclusive information from renowned journalist Alex Crook of British sports outlet talkSPORT reveals that Portugal manager Roberto Martínez will depart his post following the World Cup and will not extend his contract, which expires at the end of July this year.
It is understood that Martínez is set to stand down no matter how Portugal perform at this World Cup, bringing an end to his three-and-a-half-year tenure in charge of the national side. Martínez led Portugal to lift the UEFA Nations League trophy last year.
The coach is still weighing up multiple career options, including a return to England, taking charge of European club teams or managing other national teams in the future.
