Jorge Jesus Pledges Full Support for Ronaldo as Portugal Boss
Portugal’s new manager Jorge Jesus has pledged his full support for Cristiano Ronaldo, insisting the veteran forward will never be a problem for the national team. The 71-year-old coach, who led Al Nassr to the Saudi Pro League title, takes charge until June 2030 after Roberto Martinez’s departure. Jesus highlighted his strong relationship with Ronaldo, praising the captain as a symbol of Portuguese football. Despite speculation about his international future, Ronaldo remains central to Jesus’s plans. Portugal suffered a round-of-16 exit at the World Cup, where Ronaldo netted three goals in what many expect was his final tournament performance. Jesus says he will select Ronaldo whenever conditions allow, while respecting the striker’s desire to finish his club career at Al Nassr.
