Cristiano Ronaldo Included in Nations League Squad by New Portugal Coach

On Friday, new coach Jorge Jesus included 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal's squad for upcoming Nations League games, marking Jesus's first roster selection.
Jesus replaced Spaniard Roberto Martinez after Portugal lost 1-0 to Spain in the World Cup round of 16; the 72-year-old previously managed Ronaldo at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon winner, is the leading scorer for men's international soccer with 146 goals. He stated this summer's World Cup was his last, though he has yet to announce international retirement.
Portugal opens the Nations League hosting Wales on September 24, then plays Norway away on September 27 before facing Denmark on October 1 and hosting Norway on October 4.
While Ronaldo helped Portugal win the 2016 Euros, he will be 43 by the 2028 European Championship. The global star continues pursuing international milestones despite his advancing age.
