Amorim Says Ronaldo’s Portugal Career Deserved a Better Ending
Ruben Amorim says Cristiano Ronaldo’s international career did not end in the best way. Ronaldo announced his retirement from Portugal on 5 November 2026, closing a record-breaking career with 146 goals in 234 appearances, according to the report. He helped Portugal win Euro 2016 and two Nations League titles. Speaking after a Europa League match, Amorim said Ronaldo’s contribution to Portugal was clear to everyone. He added that people around the world know the country through the football star and that Ronaldo can continue to contribute off the pitch. Ronaldo’s departure followed a reported disagreement with coach Jorge Jesus. He left the national-team camp after learning he would not start against Denmark and was later given a 30-day suspension by the Portuguese Football Federation. The federation has indicated it wants to organise a tribute for him.
