Portugal’s new head coach, Jorge Jesus, has said Cristiano Ronaldo will remain part of the national team as long as he is fit, available, and willing to play.

Although the 41-year-old recently confirmed that the 2026 FIFA World Cup was his last, he has not announced his retirement from international football.

Speaking during his official unveiling, Jesus described Ronaldo as a legend of Portuguese football and said he would always be welcome in the squad.

The former Al-Nassr coach revealed that he has not yet spoken to Ronaldo about his international future but plans to hold discussions with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner soon.

Jesus, who worked with Ronaldo at Al-Nassr before leaving the club earlier this year, said the veteran forward had always expressed his desire to finish his playing career with the Saudi Arabian club.

The 71-year-old coach has signed a contract to lead Portugal through the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by Portugal, Spain and Morocco.
