Portugal's new 71-year-old coach said "age doesn't matter" and there still is a place on the team for 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo.
Jorge Jesus signed a four-year deal on Friday to coach Portugal through the 2030 World Cup.
Jesus succeeded Spain's Roberto Martinez, whose contract expired with Monday's 1-0 loss to Spain in the World Cup round of 16.
Jesus spent the past year coaching Ronaldo, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, with the Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr.
"I'm 71, but I feel 50 because I'm healthy. I train every day -- an hour or two. It's going to be a tough challenge, but I'm convinced we'll win," Jesus said Friday at Portugal's Football Federation headquarters in Lisbon.
