According to a post on X on Thursday, November 5, Cristiano Ronaldo announced his decision after the Portuguese Football Federation planned to dedicate a farewell match to him.

His response was that he did not want to play a farewell match.

A phone call between Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus, which was supposed to take place today but did not, had been arranged through Pedro Proença.

Cristiano Ronaldo no longer wants to speak to the national team coach. The two have not spoken to each other since September 30, and Cristiano Ronaldo did not inform him of his retirement from international football, although he had made the president of the Portuguese Football Federation, Pedro Proença, aware of his stance, according to a post on X.

The 41-year-old avoided being called up by the coach by announcing his retirement just before the squad announcement, and he no longer wanted to play under Jorge Jesus.

The coach, who had intended to call up the football legend, was surprised by the player's revelation.
