Ronaldo was a focal point in the Madrid side that famously pipped Barcelona to the La Liga title with 100 points in the 2011-12 campaign under Mourinho.
Despite turning 40 in February, Ronaldo has shown no signs of slowing down at club and international level.
He scored the 909th and 910th goals of his senior career last week in Portugal’s 5-1 win over Poland.
The former Manchester United star insisted afterwards his focus remains on football, with retirement depending on his motivation levels as he approaches 40.
‘I just want to enjoy [myself],’ Ronaldo said. ‘Plan for retirement? If it has to happen, in one or two years… I don’t know. I’m turning 40 soon.
‘I really want to enjoy, as long as I feel motivated I keep going. The day I don’t feel motivated, I will retire.’
Ronaldo also added he doesn’t intent to go into management once he calls time on his career.
‘I don’t see myself managing a team; that’s not in my plans,’ Ronaldo added.
‘My future lies in other areas outside of football, although time will tell what happens.’
