WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Former Portugal coach Fernando Santos has arrived in Warsaw according to video posted online on the eve of Poland announcing its new national team manager. The video appears to show Santos leaving the VIP line of Warsaw airport. The spokesman for the country’s national soccer association did not confirm Santos’ arrival but he did say a news conference to introduce the new Poland coach will be held on Tuesday. Portuguese media reports said Santos is in Warsaw in relation to that announcement. Poland didn’t extend the contract of Czeslaw Michniewicz after reaching the last 16 at the 2022 World Cup. Santos led Portugal to its first international trophy at the 2016 European Championship.
