Portugal manager Paulo Bento has left his position with the national side by mutual consent.
The Portuguese Football Federation announced the news today following Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Albania in their opening Euro 2016 qualifier.
The 45-year-old, who signed a contract extension with the Portuguese FA last April, first took on the role in September 2010.
Bento guided the national side to the semi-finals of Euro 2012, but failed to progress past the group phase at this summer's World Cup in Brazil.
