Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez will step down after the 2026 World Cup. According to talkSPORT, the 52-year-old coach has already decided not to renew his contract, which expires after the tournament. At the same time, his future does not depend on the results of the Portuguese team's performance at the World Cup. It is reported that Martinez is considering various options to continue his career. Possible scenarios include a return to the English Premier League, work in one of the leading European championships, or leadership of another national team. The Spanish specialist has been working with the Portugal national team since January 2023. During this time, he helped the team to successfully pass qualifying campaigns and brought it to the number of contenders for high places on the international stage. Currently, the Portuguese continue their performance at the 2026 World Cup, after which the federation will begin the search for a new coach for the national team.
