Jorge Jesus was announced as the new Portugal coach on Friday, which could have implications for Cristiano Ronaldo's international future.

The 41-year-old said he would take time to mull whether he will continue to play for Portugal after the World Cup last-16 exit to Spain on Monday. Jesus was his coach at Al-Nassr when the pair won the Saudi League last season.

"Today a new journey begins. Welcome to the national team, Mr Jorge Jesus," the Portuguese football association wrote on social media.

Portuguese media had long reported that Jesus would succeed Roberto Martinez, who left following the Spain defeat.

According to the reports, the 71-year-old is signing a contract until 2030 when Portugal co-hosts the next World Cup.
