Portugal head coach Jorge Jesus has confirmed Bernardo Silva as the country’s new captain, a day after Cristiano Ronaldo ended his international career, and named the four players next in line for the armband.
The 72-year-old spoke at the Cidade do Futebol in Oeiras on Friday (November 6), after naming a 28-man squad for Portugal’s last two Nations League group games, against Denmark in Braga on November 14 and Wales in Cardiff on November 17. Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, announced his retirement on Thursday (November 5), 23 years after his debut, with 234 caps and 146 goals to his name.
