The new coach of the Portugal national team, Jorge Jesus, sees the 41-year-old veteran Cristiano Ronaldo in his plans.

The paths of these men intersected in the ranks of Al Nassr, where they managed to win the Saudi Arabian league title last season.

J. Jesus would like to continue working with Ronaldo: "He is a symbol of Portuguese football. He will never be a problem.

This will not be a problem for the national team, nor for me. I had very good years working with Cristiano. Working with him is easy."

C. Ronaldo announced that he will not participate in the next World Cup in 2030.
