Under-fire Nacional boss Alexandre Santos set for Petro de Luanda return

Nacional manager Alexandre Santos, under increasing pressure after a string of poor results—culminating in their recent Taça de Portugal exit—is on the verge of sealing a return to Petro de Luanda to succeed João Pedro Sousa, according to news outlet Batunews.

The Portuguese coach was reportedly approached by the Angolan club's board and has expressed his immediate willingness to take back the reins of the reigning Angolan champions.

Negotiations are expected to be finalized in the coming hours, subject to the termination of his contract with Nacional.
