Ronaldo Named In Portugal Squad For Nations League
- On Friday, new Portugal coach Jorge Jesus named Cristiano Ronaldo in his first national team squad for the Nations League campaign, replacing former manager Roberto Martinez.
- Jesus, who managed Ronaldo at Saudi club Al-Nassr, took the role following Martinez's departure after Portugal's World Cup loss to Spain in the round of 16.
- Addressing Ronaldo's status, Jesus stated "all the called-up players are at my disposal," emphasizing that the forward's five Ballon d'Or awards "doesn't influence anything" in selection decisions.
- Portugal begins Nations League Group A at home to Wales on September 24, then travels to face Norway three days later before matches in Denmark on October 1 and hosting Norway in Porto on October 4.
- Ronaldo, 41, who has scored 146 goals in 233 matches, said last month this season is "probably" his last, though he could compete at the 2028 European Championship when he turns 43.
