Fernando Santos was officially presented on Tuesday as the new head coach of the Polish national team.

He may not have noticed it himself, but the slip definitely did not go unnoticed by journalists. Not only those in Poland. The news of Kulesza’s error also reached the homeland of Fernando Santos. He was mentioned by the newspaper “O Jogo”, as well as the editors of maisfutebol.iol.pt, who wrote that “he started the presentation of the new coach badly”. The “Record” daily wrote a bit more.
“The press conference started funny when the president of the federation, Cezary Kulesza, introduced ‘Filipe Santos’ after praising the coach’s experience and successes,” we read. Of course, the journalists approached the topic humorously. No one is indignant and has no grudges against the head of the Polish Football Association. They said it was time to “skip the blunders” and focus on Fernando Santos’ new adventure. You can see that he enjoys respect among media representatives in his homeland.
“Record” gave a short report on Santos’s presentation and quoted some of his statements. The one about our best player, Robert Lewandowski, stands out in particular. – The team must be a group of stars. Everyone has their own personality and as a coach I have to bring them all together. I usually say stars are only in the sky, and I’ve never seen one stand alone.
Fernando Santos will debut in his new position in less than two months. Then the Polish national team will play the first match in the qualifiers for the European Championship 2024. Our players will play in Prague against the Czech Republic on March 24.
