Santos: Ronaldo could play for 10 more years

Fernando Santos believes Cristiano Ronaldo could give up to a decade more of service to the Portugal national team.
Ronaldo will captain Santos' side in Sunday's Euro 2016 final against hosts France as he bids for his and his country's first major international honour.

The 31-year-old Real Madrid star, who is Portugal's all-time record appearance maker and goalscorer, could be presented with perfect moment with which to bid farewell if he hoists the Henri Delaunay Cup at the Stade de France.

But Santos insists his star player has much more to give.
"There's a final tomorrow so in that sense, yes, it will be a final for him." he said
"As for Cristiano, he will play for another six, seven or 10 years. Tomorrow will not be his final match, I'm sure."

Taking on the job of Portugal coach reunited Santos with Ronaldo, who he oversaw briefly at Sporting Lisbon before the teenager moved to Manchester United in 2003.
