The decision reportedly annoyed Ronaldo, who then failed to train with the team ahead of their game against Denmark. 

Tensions are rising between Ronaldo and Jesus in Portugal

This led to tension between Ronaldo and Jesus, but the former Benfica coach insisted there was no problem between them in his press conference. 

However, that appeared to annoy Ronaldo more, who then left the team’s camp acrimoniously ahead of the clash against Denmark.

The Al-Nassr forward then went ahead to reveal the reason for his departure in a statement on his social media page, stating that some of the things Jesus said were not true. 

With his departure, it is now being reported that the 41-year-old’s time with the Portuguese national team is over, although there is no official statement from him or the Portuguese FA.
