“I Could See Ronaldo Wanting to Manage Portugal in the Future” – Meulensteen Says
Former Manchester United assistant coach Rene Meulensteen recently shared his thoughts on the future of Cristiano Ronaldo
He suggested that the legendary footballer could take on the role of managing the Portugal national team once he steps away from playing.
Ronaldo, who is nearing the incredible milestone of 1,000 career goals, remains a dominant figure in football, especially as the only male player to surpass 900 career goals.
At 39 years old, however, some football fans believe that the time is coming for him to retire from the game, even though his passion and talent are still undeniable.
Meulensteen, who worked closely with Ronaldo during his time at Manchester United, believes that coaching could be an ideal next step for the forward.
In an interview with Mega Dice and GOAL, Meulensteen reflected on his experiences with Ronaldo as a young player.
“I only knew Cristiano when he was coming into the senior team as a young, upcoming, growing player who made a massive impact,” Meulensteen recalled.
“Whether he has the ambition to become a manager, I don’t know. Maybe he does. Would he like to manage Portugal in the future?
I would probably say yes because he’s so passionate about representing his country.
I could definitely see him wanting that.”
Ronaldo’s love for Portugal has been constant throughout his career, from his early days as a promising talent to becoming one of the best players the world has ever seen.
His commitment to his national team was shown when he led them to victory in the 2016 UEFA European Championship and the 2019 UEFA Nations League.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
