In Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo Has a NEW Coach

Roberto Martinez, a former head coach of Belgium, has verbally agreed to join Portugal.

Just over a month after Martinez resigned from his position with Belgium during the 2022 World Cup, he was appointed.

Regardless of how well the Red Devils did in Qatar, the Spaniard reiterated that his departure was still scheduled.

I didn’t quit. The term of my contract is up. Six years have passed. I knew I wanted to play in the [2018] World Cup when I came. After that, we were so absorbed in the project that we took home the bronze. He said, “I’m really proud of these guys.

After leaving Belgium, Martinez allegedly had offers from clubs and other nations.

But according to The Athletic, he has subsequently come to terms with Portugal, who let Fernando Santos go after the World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo was infamously benched by Santos for their last two games of the competition.
