Portugal’s new chapter under Jorge Jesus has begun with a familiar name at its centre: Cristiano Ronaldo has been included in the coach’s first squad selection.
The news from the club
Jesus has named the emblematic Portugal captain in his inaugural call-up as national-team manager. The pair already know each other from their time together at Al-Nassr, where Jesus previously coached Ronaldo at club level.
Ronaldo remains part of the international picture as Portugal prepare for their next fixtures, with the new coach’s first list setting the early shape of his tenure.
