Cristiano Ronaldo snubs Ancelotti, Mourinho, names two best coaches in history

Cristiano Ronaldo recently sat down with Rio Ferdinand for an in-depth interview on his Youtube channel, sharing his thoughts on various topics, including his retirement, time at Real Madrid and Manchester United.

The 39-year-old Portuguese as captivating as ever, continues to steal media attention, whether on or off the pitch.

On the pitch though, Ronaldo has played for some of the world's greatest managers, from Sir Alex Ferguson to Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, and more.

When discussing the Red Devils and Erik ten Hag's rebuilding process, Ronaldo emphasized the importance of knowledgeable leadership, stating:

"You cannot rebuild a club without knowledge. The people who understand football are 99% those who were in the dressing room.

"The most successful coaches in history were players, Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola, they understand the game"

Ronaldo's admiration for Ferguson is well-documented, given their time together at Manchester United.

His nod to Guardiola, widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches, comes as no surprise, despite never being coached by the Manchester City boss.
