Ahead of Portugal boss Roberto Martinez naming his squad for the upcoming Nations League matches, the 39-year-old spoke about his future plans. The former Real Madrid ace says he still wants to keep playing for his country but when he does retire, the build-up to it will be kept under wraps. Moreover, the ex-Manchester United man does not see him going into management when all is said and done.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He told Portuguese channel NOW: "When I leave the national team, I won't tell anyone in advance and it will be a very spontaneous decision on my part, but also a very well thought-out one."Right now what I want is to be able to help the national team in their upcoming matches. We have the Nations League ahead of us and I would really like to play."The veteran added: "At the moment, I'm not thinking about being a coach of the first team or any team. It doesn't even cross my mind, I've never thought about it. I don't see my future going through that. I see myself doing other things outside of football, but only God knows what the future holds."

WHAT CRISTIANO RONALDO SAID

Ronaldo has arguably had one of the greatest ever football careers and he still believes he has more to give, despite being in the twilight stage of his time in the sport. It appears the former Juventus star still has no plans to call it a day just yet.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Forward Ronaldo could feature for Al-Nassr in their Saudi Pro League clash away to Al-Feiha on Tuesday, before potentially representing Portugal in their Nations League opener at home to Croatia on September 5.
