Ronaldo says he won't retire, demands punishment after coach breach

Cristiano Ronaldo has ruled out retiring from Portugal duty, saying he remains committed to the national side.

He left the squad after coach Jorge Jesus allegedly broke a promise to him, prompting the striker to walk away from the training camp.

Ronaldo said the walk‑out was a response to the coach’s breach of trust and that he deserves punishment for the incident.

Portugal are preparing for the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, and the striker’s decision will affect squad selection and team morale.

The national team will likely review the situation, while Ronaldo remains available for selection as the country looks to secure a place in the tournament.
