Cristiano Ronaldo hints at retirement plans
Portugal legend set to address future after World Cup
37-year-old forward eyes move into coaching
Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted at his retirement plans, suggesting that he could hang up his boots after the World Cup in Qatar. The 37-year-old forward is set to address his future after Portugal's involvement in the tournament, with a move into coaching a possibility.
Ronaldo, one of the greatest players of all time, has enjoyed a glittering career at club and international level. He has won five Ballon d'Or awards, five Champions League titles, and seven league titles in England, Spain, and Italy.
However, the Portuguese star has been in and out of the Manchester United team this season, and has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford in the January transfer window. He has also been criticized for his performances for Portugal, who were held to a 1-1 draw by Serbia in their opening World Cup qualifier.
With his contract at United expiring at the end of the season, Ronaldo's future is uncertain. He has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, the United States, or even a return to Sporting Lisbon, the club where he began his career.
However, Ronaldo has also hinted that he could retire from playing after the World Cup. In an interview with Sky Sports, he said: "I don't know what will happen after the World Cup. I'm focused on the World Cup, and then we'll see what happens after the World Cup."
Ronaldo's retirement would be a major blow to world football. He is one of the most iconic and recognizable players in the game, and his departure from the stage would leave a huge void.
However, Ronaldo is already 37 years old, and he has been playing at the highest level for over two decades. He has achieved everything there is to achieve in the game, and he may feel that it is time to call it a day.
If Ronaldo does retire, he will leave behind a legacy as one of the greatest players of all time. He will be remembered for his incredible goalscoring ability, his passion for the game, and his unwavering determination to succeed.
