Jorge Jesus Deflects Questions on Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal Future
World Sports · 20:29:07 - Sunday, 8 November 2026

Al Hilal manager Jorge Jesus declined to speculate on Cristiano Ronaldo's potential retirement from the Portugal national team, telling reporters: "I don't know. You should ask him."

The Portuguese coach was questioned about the 39-year-old forward's international future following Portugal's recent Nations League campaign. Ronaldo, who holds the all-time men's international scoring record with 130 goals, has not publicly confirmed whether he will continue playing for his country through the 2026 World Cup cycle.

Jesus, who previously managed Benfica and Sporting CP in Portugal before moving to Saudi Arabia, emphasized that the decision rests solely with the player himself.
