🧐 Following his appointment as Portugal boss, Roberto Martinez has addressed Cristiano Ronaldo’s future with the national team after his difficult 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign and subsequent move to Saudi Arabia. SLInt MORE:
Martinez, 49, spent the past six years in charge of the Red Devils and stepped down from his post following the expiration of his contract in December 2022, confirming his exit just moments after Belgium’s group-stage exit in Qatar.
Ronaldo lost his place in Santos' first XI following an underwhelming showing in the group stage, a decision that paid off for the ex-manager as replacement Goncalo Ramos scored a thrilling hat-trick in their 6-1 last-16 victory over Switzerland. Martinez has since revealed he will hold discussions with the former Manchester United forward, whom he believes should be respected at all times."I'm not a coach who makes decisions in an office. My starting point is to meet them all today, to contact all the players. The list of 26 players from the last World Cup is my starting point, and Cristiano is a player on that list.
