According to the weekly Expresso, Santos, the coach of Portugal since October 2014, was claimed by the Treasury for 4.5 million euros additional tax on his income in 2016 and 2017.
According to this newspaper, the Treasury will conclude that the coach wanted to avoid paying these taxes by paying the federation through a company deemed ‘fictitious’, rather than receiving the salary set by a contract. at work.
“In any case the Portuguese Football Federation or Fernando Santos hid or stole information about their contractual relationship,” the FPF said in a statement.
“Fernando Santos does not owe the Public Treasury a cent,” the FPF stressed, specifying that if the arbitration procedure initiated by Santos proves him correct, he is entitled “to full reimbursement of the amounts paid.”
Along with Santos, 67, he won the first major trophies in its history including Portugal, Euro 2016 and the first edition of the Nations League, organized at home in 2019.
