Bento, 45, had been in charge since 2010 but failed to steer his side out of the group stages at this summer's World Cup in Brazil.

Under Bento, Portugal reached the last four at Euro 2012 before losing a penalty shootout to eventual winners Spain.
They qualified for the World Cup by beating Sweden in a play-off but were thrashed 4-0 by Germany in their opener and were eliminated at the group stage.
