Portugal extend Santos contract after Euro 2016 glory
Fernando Santos will be Portugal manager until Euro 2020, after signing a new contract in the wake of winning Euro 2016.
Portugal's Euro 2016-winning coach Fernando Santos has penned a new deal to take charge until the next European Championship.
Santos' side were not among the favourites to lift the Henri Delaunay Trophy, and earned few admirers through the tournament as they drew their three group games.

A statement from the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) confirmed: "The new deal between the FPF and Fernando Santos will be in force until Euro 2020, coinciding with the end of the mandate of the current Director of the Portuguese Football Federation."
