Portugal’s left winger and football icon, Cristiano Ronaldo, has revealed that he does not plan on remaining in football once he hangs up his boots.

Speaking on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, the Portguese player said that he doesn’t see himself ever as a coach should he retire from football.

The reason why Cristiano feels so is because he says the young generation is so hardheaded when it comes to taking and following instructions to the letter.

“For me, it will be difficult one day to be a coach because I don’t have passions for this generation. It’s difficult, especially in football, because they don’t take advice from our experience.

He goes on saying that he is really struggling to understand the young generation because their priorities lie elsewhere, and instead of them listening to their superiors, they’d stay glued to their devices, believing that it is all they need to idolize more than anything.

They think they know everything; they think the phones will give you a good education. TikTok, Instagram.” Ronaldo shared.
