Jorge Jesus begins his tenure as head coach of the Brazil national team with Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed as captain. The new leadership's first match is tomorrow at 19:45 against Wales in the Nations League.
Jesus stated that Ronaldo "is the perfect choice" for the role. The coach added that the forward felt "more affection" in the year they worked together and that his presence creates a "different vision" for the national side.
The confirmation comes as Brazil sits top of their World Cup qualifying group with seven points from three games. The team's recent form reads three wins, one draw, and one defeat from the last five outings.
