In a candid revelation, Cristiano Ronaldo has suggested that he may hang up his boots within the next “one or two years.” However, the Portuguese superstar has firmly ruled out a future in management once he decides to retire.

Currently plying his trade with Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo is set to celebrate his 40th birthday in February. Despite the advancing years, the forward continues to demonstrate his prowess on the pitch, recently scoring a stunning brace in Portugal’s emphatic 5-1 victory over Poland. One of those goals was a breathtaking overhead kick, a testament to his enduring talent.

This latest win has propelled Roberto Martinez’s side into the quarter-finals of the UEFA Nations League. However, Ronaldo will not feature in their final group match against Croatia on Monday, as he is set to return to the Middle East.

After the match, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United icon spoke to reporters, expressing his desire to enjoy the game for as long as he feels motivated. “I just want to enjoy myself,” he stated. “Plan for retirement? If it has to happen, in one or two years. I don’t know. I’m turning 40 soon.”

Ronaldo continued, “I really want to enjoy it; as long as I feel motivated, I keep going. The day I don’t feel motivated, I will retire.” He also made it clear that management is not on his agenda, saying, “I don’t see myself managing a team; that’s not in my plans. My future lies in other areas outside of football, although time will tell what happens.”

Since joining Al Nassr, Ronaldo has been nothing short of prolific, netting an impressive 74 goals in 85 appearances for the Saudi side, including six in the current league campaign. As he approaches a significant milestone in his career, fans and pundits alike will be keen to see how the next chapter unfolds for one of football’s greatest ever players.
