The coach criticized the election of his country.

Fenerbahce head coach Jose Mourinho commented on Portugal's participation in Euro 2024.

" Nowadays, if Turechina outperformed, it was a problem for me, and now, if Portugal won, it was joy for me.

There is no hope in the future if you realize that you can earn more. Portugal has great potential. I’m not very pleased with the forecasts, since I said that Portugal, France and England are the favorites. Two teams out of three are in the semifinals.

Spain – the biggest surprise for the less developed team. For me, this team plays the best.

Portugal wasn't too squeamish, although they reached the quarterfinals. Checked for more. I was at the stadium when Portugal lost to Croatia ahead of Euro 2024 – it wasn’t like that.

I didn’t feel these wonderful feelings. The team poked its head through the tournament, but looked unconvinced. And then the moment of truth came, and Portugal were not one of the strongest teams,” Mourinho said.

Guess what, Portugal beat France at the quarter-final stage.
