–

Neutral summary

Portugal head coach Jorge Jesus has publicly addressed Cristiano Ronaldo's decision to end his international career, insisting he feels no guilt over the move. "Maybe things were rushed, but not through my fault," Jesus told La Nación. The coach, who previously worked with Ronaldo at Saudi club Al-Nassr, said he had intended to select the 41-year-old striker despite their strained relationship in recent months. "I don't feel guilty about his departure," Jesus emphasized when asked whether he would change anything. Ronaldo announced his retirement from the national team after more than two decades of service. According to Clarín, Bernardo Silva will be the new captain. The Independent and Belfast Telegraph also covered Jesus's remarks but provided no further details on the conflict or future plans.
