With just four days left before Roberto Martínez announces the squad for Portugal's upcoming matches, 39-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo has made it clear that he wants to continue playing for the national team, despite a less-than-stellar performance in the last Euro.

"When I leave the national team, I won’t give anyone a heads-up. It’ll be a very spontaneous decision on my part, but also one I’ll have thought through carefully," the former Real Madrid star said in an interview with the Portuguese channel NOW.

"But right now, what I want is to be able to help the national team in its upcoming commitments. We've got the Nations League ahead, and I’d really love to play," Cristiano added.

During the interview with NOW, Cristiano also touched on his future after hanging up his boots and ruled out the idea of becoming a coach.

"At the moment, I’m not thinking about becoming a coach, not for a first team or any team. It hasn’t even crossed my mind, I’ve never thought about it," said the current Al Nassr player to the Portuguese channel NOW. 

"I don't see my future going in that direction. I see myself doing other things outside of football, but only God knows what the future holds," he added.
