Ronaldo included in Jesus' first Portugal squad
LISBON: Cristiano Ronaldo has been included in new Portugal manager Jorge Jesus’ first 25-man squad for the defending champions’ upcoming four Nations League matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been added to Portugal manager Jorge Jesus' initial 25-man roster for the defending champions' upcoming Four Nations League games. The 41-year-old captain, one of soccer's most decorated players, is speculated to be nearing retirement. Despite winning numerous trophies with top clubs, including Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al-Nassr, Ronaldo failed to secure a World Cup title for Portugal after their early exit in 2016.
Jesus emphasized that Ronaldo's performance, not his historical status, will determine whether he plays. Portugal will face Wales, Norway, and Denmark in the qualifying matches from September 24 to October 4, with Jesus making his managerial debut against Wales at home.
