Obviously, there are other problems with the Portuguese team and the Portuguese FA, and I was hopping for the entire board to resign, but like a metastatic Cancer they resist. Hopefully they will do the right thing soon and leave
In the meantime, Paulo Bento is rumoured as a name that may be in the front line for Queiros successor
Will post names as they show up in the Portuguese press
