"I've worked with some really bad coaches. They didn't know anything about football," Cristiano Ronaldo said in an interview with Spanish TV channel La Sexta, making fans curious. There have been many coaches who have had disagreements with the Portuguese superstar.
Erik ten Hag (Man Utd): The Dutch coach is at the top of the list of suspects. He is considered the factor that pushed Ronaldo out of Man Utd at the end of 2022. In the interview that led to his departure from the Old Trafford team, CR7 said that coach Erik ten Hag did not respect him and was one of the people who wanted him to leave the team.
After signing a contract with Man Utd, coach Erik ten Hag did not use Ronaldo despite always speaking well of the Portuguese superstar. CR7 only played 10 matches, of which 3 were starting after half a season in the Premier League. In the match against Tottenham, the Dutch coach wanted to put Ronaldo on the field in the 87th minute but he refused and left.
Erik ten Hag is the only one on this list who wasn't pushed out of the team before Ronaldo left.
Rafael Benitez (Real Madrid) : Behind Erik ten Hag is definitely Benitez. The Spanish coach had a conflict with Ronaldo as soon as he moved in 2015. Spanish media said CR7 did not like the new coach's working style and tactical views.
Coach Benitez sent Ronaldo a USB containing a video analyzing the superstar's playing style and suggested that he improve on some points. In addition, he also commented on the weaknesses in Ronaldo's free kicks.
This clearly touched the ego of CR7, who was then the world's top star. He openly "turned on" the coach right on the training ground. Coach Benitez lost his job after only half a season.
Rudi Garcia (Al Nassr): He was the coach of Al Nassr at the time Ronaldo joined the club. Less than half a year later, Coach Garcia lost his job.
There are many rumors that Ronaldo and many teammates are not satisfied with the French coach's tactics. Mr. Garcia even criticized Ronaldo after the 0-0 draw with Al Feiha on April 9, 2023. CR7 left the field, went straight to the tunnel without shaking the coach's hand.
Ralf Rangnick (Man Utd): The disagreement between Ronaldo and the interim coach of Man Utd for the 2021-2022 season exploded when the Portuguese superstar was substituted in the match against Brentford. Ronaldo angrily left the field, threw his jacket on the ground and questioned coach Rangnick.
In a controversial interview before leaving Man Utd, Ronaldo said he did not consider Rangnick a coach. The reason was that the Austrian coach had taken a 5-year break from coaching to become a technical director before signing an interim contract with Man Utd.
Jose Mourinho (Real Madrid): The relationship between the "Special One" and Ronaldo at Real Madrid was mostly good. However, cracks appeared at the end of the 2012-2013 season.
Mourinho did not use Ronaldo in 3 of the last 6 rounds of La Liga. The Portuguese coach said in an interview that "Ronaldo thinks he knows everything".
Fernando Santos (Portugal): The coach born in 1954 caused a shock when he stripped Ronaldo of his starting position after passing the group stage of the 2022 World Cup. CR7 only came off the bench in the win over Switzerland in the round of 16 and lost to Morocco in the quarterfinals.
Coach Santos resigned after Portugal were eliminated. Ronaldo has not spoken to him since. Under new coach Roberto Martinez, Ronaldo regained his place in the Portugal squad.
