"Ronaldo will start to think about his future after the 'Match against Poverty', a match in benefit of the United Nations," Farah said.
The annual Match against Poverty is commanded by Ronaldo and French soccer player Zinedine Zidane, and this year it will take place in the city of Fez, Morocco on Nov. 17.
"This match against Zidane marks the return of Ronaldo to the fields, it will be the first step for his definitive return. After that we will start thinking in which club he will play during 2009," Farah said.
