Santos: Portugal must work to get results

Portugal will only be successful at the European Championship if the team prepares well and works hard, says Fernando Santos.

Portugal coach Fernando Santos is ready to start preparing for his side's opponents at Euro 2016 following Saturday's draw, insisting the team will only achieve results through hard work.

Santos replaced Paulo Bento after the Iberian nation began its qualifying campaign with a defeat at home to Albania and led the team to seven straight wins to finish on top of its group.

Portugal has been pitted alongside Iceland, Austria and Hungary in Group F for next year's tournament in France and the 61-year-old is ready to get to work.
