Portugal coach Jorge Jesus leads squad, Ronaldo stays
Entities: Luis Filipe Vieira · Jorge Jesus · Portuguese Football Federation · Portugal national football team · Cristiano Ronaldo
Overview
After Portugal’s 1‑0 round‑of‑16 defeat to Spain at the 2026 World Cup, the federation appointed 71‑year‑old Jorge Jesus as head coach on a four‑year deal, targeting Euro 2028 as his first major tournament. Jesus, who won domestic titles in Portugal, a Saudi Pro League crown with Al‑Nassr and a Copa Libertadores with Flamengo, reiterated that Cristiano Ronaldo will remain in the national pool “as long as he plays and is in condition,” while stressing a merit‑based selection policy.
In late July, the federation formally announced Jesus’s appointment, with technical director Óscar Tojo highlighting his 24‑title record and charisma, and former Benfica president Luís Filipe Vieira praising his professionalism and relationship with Ronaldo. Jesus’s technical staff was named, including João de Deus, Fábio Jesus, Márcio Sampaio, Rodrigo Araújo, Gil Henriques, Ricardo Pereira and Nelson Pereira.
Jesus also revealed in a Canal 11 interview that, before taking the Portugal role, he was approached to organise a Brazil pre‑convocation friendly after Brazil’s 4‑1 loss to Argentina in 2025. He mentioned former Flamengo striker Pedro as a top Brazilian centre‑forward, reflecting his past coaching ties.
He continues to promote a clear tactical identity and has highlighted emerging talents such as Rodrigo Mora and Mateus Fernandes, while Ronaldo’s future remains tied to his fitness and personal decision. No further developments concerning the coach or Ronaldo have been reported since the last update.
