Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Saudi side Al-Nassr, has parted ways with 20-year-old coach Jorge Mendes.
It has been claimed that behind the scenes of the split between Ronaldo and Mendes, the star footballer won by either Chelsea or Bayern Munich.
Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr on a record annual salary and parted ways with 20-year-old manager Jorge Mendes.
Mendes, greatly troubled by Ronaldo’s interview with Piers Morgan before the World Cup, which prompted him to leave Manchester United, understood that Ronaldo would not be favored by Europe’s top-flight teams and the decision to leave was the real reason. At least that was the message a few weeks ago. Spanish newspaper El Mundo, on the other hand, said that after leaving Manchester United in an eventful manner, the star footballer rested against his manager Mendes, whom he saw as his “father”. According to the newspaper’s report, the 37-year-old Ronaldo told Mendes: “You can take me to Chelsea or Bayern, or we’ll leave.”
When Mendes was unable to comply with this request, Ronaldo did as he said and ended his relationship with his manager of 20 years, Mendes.
