Cristiano Ronaldo and the future: the Portuguese champion gives his opinion for the first time
Cristiano Ronaldo starts looking at post-career
For the first time ever, after denying numerous times, especially in recent years, the rumors that he was close to retiring from playing soccer, Cristiano Ronaldo spoke to the Portuguese channel 'Now' in the first person about what è the last phase of his career and also identified the possible moments when he would say enough.
"I will probably retire in two or three years, it will almost certainly still be with the Al-Nassr jersey,” said CR7. I am happy here and have adapted well to this country. The national team? He won't make any particular announcements, when he decides to leave it will be a natural process. There'è the Nations League and I would like to play it".
In Ronaldo’s future there does not seem to be a bench, at least for now: "I don’t think about the possibility of becoming a coach, neither of a first team nor of another reality. Honestly I have to say that I have never thought about it, if I have to be honest I see myself engaged in other environments, outside of soccer. But no one canò know as of now what will happenà".
Turning 39 last Feb. 5, Cristiano Ronaldo è at Al-Nassr from January 2023, after a stormy second spell at Manchester United. He won an Arab Champions Cup with the Riyadh-based club in 2023, signing in the final both goals in the 2-1 victory (after extra time) that his team inflicted on Al-Hilal'Al-Hilal.
