Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest footballers of all time, has opened up about his future in football and his potential retirement plans. Speaking to Now, Ronaldo shared his thoughts on when he might hang up his boots and what his life might look like after football.
"I don’t know if I will retire soon, in two or three years... but probably I will retire at Al Nassr," Ronaldo said, hinting that his career could end with his current club in Saudi Arabia. "I’m very happy at this club, I feel good in this country too, I love playing in Saudi Arabia. I want to continue."
The 39-year-old forward, who has had a stellar career with clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, expressed contentment with his current situation at Al Nassr. Since joining the Saudi club, Ronaldo has not only adapted well but has also found joy in playing in a different footballing environment.
When asked about his future ambitions beyond playing, Ronaldo was candid about his reluctance to step into a managerial role. "It’s difficult to think that I will be a manager one day," he admitted. "In my mind, I’m not considering being the head coach of any football team. So… I don’t even think about it."
Ronaldo further revealed his desire to explore opportunities outside of football once his playing days are over. "I see my future doing things out of football," he told Now, indicating a shift in focus away from the sport that has defined his life for decades.
As Ronaldo continues to play at the highest level with Al Nassr, fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see how his future unfolds, both on and off the pitch.
