The new coach of Portugal talked about his plan
The new coach of the Portuguese national team, Jorge Jesus, has revealed his plan for captain Cristiano Ronaldo, stressing that he will remain the symbol of the country and his name will be immortalized in history.
Jesus took over as Portugal coach, replacing Spain’s Roberto MartinezFollowing the end of the team’s journey to the 2026 World Cup with a round of 16 defeat at the hands of champions Spain (1-0).
Ronaldo (41 years old) has faced a lot of criticism throughout the World Cup, in which he scored 3 goals, and some consider him a burden on the Portuguese national team.
“Ronaldo will not pose any problem to the national team or to me personally,” Jesus told Canal 11. “As for the ongoing controversy, everyone is entitled to their opinion.”
He added, according to the network.Miss Mercato“When the time comes to make a decision, I will speak individually with Cristiano and all the other players.”

“Cristiano is the symbol of Portugal and his name will be immortalized in history. I really enjoyed working with him (at Al-Nasr Saudi Arabia).
Jesus, the former coach of Saudi Arabia’s “Benfica”, “Al Hilal” and “Al Nasr”, emphasized that the list of players invited to the first match of the UEFA Nations League with Wales on September 24 will not differ much from the composition of the 2026 World Cup.
“Some may think that the new coach will come and make a lot of changes in the players. But it won’t happen. I’m not naive. Also, I don’t have enough time to call up many players who weren’t selected for this team. There aren’t many players to choose from.”
“Over the next four years, there will undoubtedly be new players. The national team (for the European League of Nations) will not be far from the composition of the 2026 World Cup. Two or three new players, something like that.”
“If the national team does not perform better than in the World Championship, I will not be able to perform better. Me and my coaching staff have to play more matches or we’ll be stuck here cherishing the dream we’ve had for years.”
“We have great players, but we haven’t achieved much. Ten years ago we won the European Nations Championship and we won the Europa League twice. It is not the most important tournament, but it is the most difficult because you always meet the best European teams. Only last year, Portugal, France, Germany and Spain reached the final.”
