Not for the national team, nor for me,” Jorge explained.”Cris is a symbol of Portuguese football. Cris is a symbol of the national team… that will forever be in the history books.”I had great pleasure working with him this past year… (it’s) easy to work with him…”We’re going to have a conversation between the two of us about what he wants to do with the future of his career.”Jorge coached five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo at Al Nassr before leaving in May after guiding the club to the Saudi Pro League title.”I know (Ronaldo) wants to keep playing at Al Nassr, because, as you know, I spent a year with him,” he added.”He always told me, ‘I’m going to end my career at Al-Nassr’.”Jorge will lead Portugal until after the 2030 World Cup, which the country is hosting along with Spain and Morocco.
