Ronaldo turns 40, sets retirement timeline

Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted he has no plans to retire for at least another couple of years yet. The Portugal superstar – who declared himself as the greatest football of all-time – celebrated his landmark 40th birthday on Wednesday. But the ever-modest Real Madrid and Manchester United icon has shown no signs of slowing down in Saudi Arabia, where he continues to shine at Al-Nassr. The GOAT is closing in on his 1,000th career goal and is just 33 appearances shy of an astonishing 250 caps for his country. Ronaldo has also set his sights on playing in the 2026 World Cup and despite his Al-Nassr contract expiring this summer, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is determined to push his limits even further. He said: “I could quit the sport today and I wouldn’t regret anything, but it would be a shame because I’m still very good. I would leave myself saying ‘I can still make a difference for another year or two’, that’s why I live very much in the present and I can’t think long term.” When Ronaldo does eventually decide to call time on his majestic career, the Madeira-born legend ruled out any prospect moving into management – instead revealing his intention to become a football club owner. In an interview with Spanish television station La Sexta, the Euro 2016 winner added: “Owning a club makes more sense. I don’t think my personality is well suited to being a coach. Almost impossible. I have been in football all my life… and being a coach is more complicated than being a player. “That is something that makes more sense. It is not something I rule out, if there is a good business. I do not have a club in my head, football is very momentary.”
