Fernando Santos has been the coach of the Polish national team for several months now. Although so far there is no need to talk about great euphoria, the Portuguese is patiently working to improve the game of the white-reds. Unexpectedly, old things come back to him. The court wants to look at his contract to see if the 68-year-old broke the rules.
Fernando Santos began work on the Vistula River with mixed feelings. Despite many weeks of preparation, in the debut he won a solid defeat, losing to the Czech Republic 1:3. A few days later, he erased a bit of a bad first impression by beating Albania at the National Stadium. Although less than a month later he will have more matches, now, in addition to sports matters, he also has to deal with personal matters.
Fernando Santos is in trouble
The breeder took over the white-red team after eight years of work with the Portuguese national team. It was with her that he achieved great success at the 2016 European Championship, winning gold, and earlier knocking Poland out of the game. Despite the fact that many months have passed, the 68-year-old football player is still struggling with the issues of working with the local federation. According to the observador.pt portal, the Administrative and Tax Court of Sintra ordered the Football Association of Portugal to disclose all contracts with Santos. The case involves allegations of alleged misuse of sole proprietorship to pay lower taxes.
The Federation has so far refused to disclose the contracts, having applied to the Southern Central Administrative Court. According to Fernando Gomez, the union has no problems with taxes, and the contract of the former coach is public. The helmsman of the union spoke a few days ago at a meeting of the Committee for Culture, Communication and Sports of the Portuguese Parliament.
“The contract of Fernando Santos is public. The contract with current manager Roberto Martinez is a clean and simple contract of employment. This information has also been made public,” Gomez said.
