Ronaldo Quit Portugal Over Refusal of Public Apology, Says Expert
Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly walked away from Portugal's national team after a disagreement with his coach.
Cristiano Ronaldo stepped away from Portugal's national team after manager Jorge Jesus refused to issue a public apology following a past dispute between them.
Sepúlveda told reporters that Jesus and Portuguese football federation president Pedro Proença tried to talk the 41-year-old out of it in the days before he announced his decision.
Ronaldo confirmed his retirement in a video last Thursday and handed back his No. 7 shirt.
He finishes with 234 caps and a men's record 146 international goals.
The row had been building since the September and October international breaks.
Sepúlveda said Ronaldo wanted a public apology from Jesus, but Jesus made it clear he would never apologise to a player.
He said Ronaldo's time under Jesus with the national team is over.
