Is Cristiano Ronaldo getting his Managers Out?

By Soibi-Versatile


Cristiano Ronaldo is a name associated with footballing success and otherwise. The 36 year old has won 5 balon dor awards and is regarded as one of the games greatest player having most official goals in football history above Brazillian three times World Cup winner Pele and Czechoslovakia's Josef Biscan. With over 350 million Instagram followers, the highest by anyone on the planet. Ronaldo is arguably the most popular man on earth probably only second to Barack Obama.


After winning the Champions league three times in a row with 13 times Champions league winners Real Madrid, the 36 year old decided to bow out with his head high. In the post match interview after winning the third consecutive European Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo told the press " It was nice to have played for Real Madrid".

Ronaldo followed up his words by Joining Juventus after the World Cup in 2018 for £99m. Having won all that needed to be won with the Los Blancos Ronaldo felt there was no need to go through a circus of familiar success.


By joining Juventus Ronaldo set a challenge for himself to win same trophies with Juve as he had done with the other clubs he starred.
Having spent 3 years at the Turin club Ronaldo won every domestic trophy, also the Golden boot award and Best Player in Seria A during his time there but had the Champions league elude him. Juve were not inspiring in the Champions league and with the return of Max Allegri to the club Ronaldo had initially planned on staying but chose to leave towards the end of the transfer window because of vicious words from Juventus legends.

The club legends tried to scapegoat him with ungrateful comments. Ronaldo wanted to be loved and respected and this led to his decision to join Manchester United in the summer even when he could easily have joined their arch rilvals Manchester City.

Ronaldo's return to United was well received by Manchester United fans but condemned by others because they felt he was too old to cope with the demand of playing in such a tough league. However his 9 goals in 13 games as well as two assist have kept them cold to some extend even though they have sort all sort of ways to lay blame on him for the teams declining performances.

Ronaldo has been accused of disrupting the club and being the cause of the managerial dismissals having had 5 managers in the last 4 seasons. We will look at the numbers that back this claim or distort it accordingly and also tell the real reason each manager left or was dismissed.


Ronaldo Under Zidane

Before the arrival of Zinidine Zidane Rafa Benitez was at the helm of affairs at Real Madrid but was dismissed for poor results. Real Madrid was in 5th place but even so Ronaldo has the best match rating in the squad and the most goals and assists ( 25 goals, 8 assists in 24 games ) by the time of his dismissal. Zidane who came in in January got the best out of him and won 10 trophies. At the end of his third consecutive Champions league victory. Zidane voluntarily stepped down. He was never sacked as claimed by the media. Ronaldo netted 112 times for Zidane in 114 games racking up 30 assists along. A stat that was not matches as the French man returned to Real Madrid for another 2 years.


Max Allegri

Cristiano Ronaldo was signed by Max Allegri in 2018. Max Allegri a defense minded coach won the Super Coppa in Italy and also the scudetto. Ronaldo won Juventus player of the season as well as the Seria A MVP award that year. His 28 goals and 11 assists in 44 matches was the highest by any Juventus player. Juventus were knocked out in the Champions league by Ajax in the round of 8 despite the Portuguese scoring in both legs. Max Allegri announced at the end of the season that he was going on a break from football. A decision that can be defended as he did not coach any team for 2 years before his return.


Maurizio Sarri

The former Chelsea and Napoli manager was brought in to help the team. Sarri came with his Sarri ball philosophy but Juve retrogressed as players struggled to cope with it. Leonardo Bonnuci did say " We struggled to grasp his philosophy "

Cristiano Ronaldo netted 37 times and had 9 assist which became the highest by any bionconerri in 95 years. Juve fell at the hands of Lyon and Sarri's remarks did him no good

" Juventus are cursed in this competition. We only lost one game and drew yet have been eliminated "


Juve had already won the league with him but could not resist the urge to fire him for such assertions. He was not sacked by Ronaldo's doing in any way.


Andrea Pirlo

The former midfielder was brought in days after just being appointed as the youth coach. No coaching experience to back him. He led Juventus to a 4th place finish and a round of 16 exit. Ronaldo was blamed for taking Juventus from 1st to 4th despite being the Seria A top scorer with 29 goals. In all Ronaldo netted 36 times under Pirlo. The highest by any player in Juventus. Juve fired Pirlo and brought back Allegri.

Ole Gunnar Solksjaer

Manchester United signed Ronaldo in the summer with his signing hoping to propel the team to win the league. However things went sour majorly due to managerial issues. It was not the first time Ole Gunnar Solksjaer was facing the sack during his three years at the club. But in other occasions he managed to escape and get his teams up again.

The Manchester United board this season gave him enough time and support to turn the situation around but he failed. Truth be told the manager had reached his peak. He was not meant to be appointed in the first place.


His failure to deal with the leaky defense was his biggest undoing. He chose to play an injured Harry McGuire and a shambolic Luke Shaw despite having good options on the bench.

Ronaldo scored 9 times under the Norwegian but is being blamed for the teams decline. It begs the question did he sign himself? Or Does he decide the team sheet ? If Ole did not need him he could have let him join Manchester City graciously. Why blame him for a decline that was springing forth for a long time and a disgraceful defensive display.

Before Ronaldo re-joined Manchester United ex Captain Roy Keane had stayed in Sky Sports after the game against Wolves that Ronaldo would be worried about joining Manchester United if he watched that game meaning it was a problem that already existed before his arrival.

The biggest challenge for most of the clubs with Ronaldo is their failure to properly photostat what Real Madrid did with him. Real Madrid got the best out of him by buying the right persons to support him. If you want a team that will dominate in Europe you don't achieve it with a squad lacking in capacity or a manager lacking in capacity.

Ronaldo tried to save Ole's job several times but could not play all the positions as in football others have to do their own part for the team to dominate.

Ronaldo's arrival at clubs brings about a change in expectations and like Real Madrid if they took the right decisions and put a proper manager and team together the collective target of the team will be achieved. The narrative of the teams decline and managerial dismissals is contorted into painting him black and cannot be backed by an sort of statistics to show he has underperformed.

It is in no way the first time Manchester United are making a managerial sack and Jose Mourinho who won 3 Cups in 2 and a bit years was sacked too. Why create a myth about Ole's sacking. A manager who failed to beat a weak Villarreal side last season in the Europa League final and could not match the top managers in the league. Ronaldo's arrival is a plus and if the board of directors take the right decisions in appointment of the next manager and how the team should be like it will kick start a Manchester United revolution.
Failure to do so will lead to a distorted theory of the club's decline.

That says a lot. Four managers in four years but one cannot say he is the reason for their sack directly;
1 teams are well prepared to meet Juventus and Man united hoping that Ronaldo is still there unfortunately, he is no longer of that age where he can carry a team like he used to be. Its an obvious fact but difficult to believe.

Then again, most coaches nowadays expect running at all time for 90 minutes. If you are not with the team you run to win ball. That was the problem Aguero had with Pep when he just joined Man City. It was the same thing that happens in those teams Ronaldo played for. and he cannot do that again. One of Man United legends have said it this season but Ronaldo Atlanta goals made people to forget that. Only people that don't observe that Man United formation before Ronaldo changed this season when he joined. a team that was unbeaten for matches away now became a laughing stock. Man United absorb pressure and counter attack but stopped that since Ronaldo joined. Not Ronaldo fault here but coach that forget his identity.

Another thing is that Ronaldo is paying the price of being the star among them. People tend to look up to the star when one is in the team. One thing I observe is that People rise to ocassion when it is getting tougher in Madrid. I KNOW HOW MANY time Ramos, Benzema and Bale have rose to occassion to bail out Madrid when opposition became strong for Madrid. the same thing cannot be said of Ronaldo. Before Ronaldo joined Juventus and Man United, they used to have people , at least 3 that will have up to ten goals per season, but it reduced drastically because of Ronaldo presence. Bruno Fernadez has not had up to 3 goals since Ronaldo joined whereas he has had four before Ronaldo joined.
the summary of it all is that its NOT Ronaldo but Ronaldo is indirectly involevd in their sacking.

Most of Fernandez goals came from penalty. United have not been given more than one this season as compared to other season. In Open play how many has he scored. Fernandez has dropped in form since Euros. Even in Portugal he doesn't do well. Manchester United got bailed out many times this season by Ronaldo. How can you talk about him not rising up. If a team like Real Madrid has three people who can rise up it is a plus to the team but Manchester United do not have such characters. At Juve under Pirlo last season do u know how many late goals he scored?

Fernadez goals did not mainly come from penalties bros. He scored many goals even to my own anger self because he doesn't score against big teams. This season is enough to tell you what he always do. He had four goals before Ronaldo comes. You too say the truth, Do you hear much from Fernandez again compared to previous seasons?

He bailed them out several time just like the way he did in Juventus. But what about the big teams that will not relinquish their leads like Atalanta, Vilareal and others? He needs the supports of others to elevate their performances unfortunately, he does not have because they also look towards him. Like it or not Ronaldo is not who he used to be before.

So Ronaldo never rose to bail madrid from tough opponents.... I stopped reading at that point.... ir bitterness must always be exposed... no player in history of football has bailed their teams as much as Ronaldo... he did it in man u part 1 multiple times, did it in Madrid multiple times, did it in juve multiple times, did it with Portugal multiple times abd is doing it now at 37 in man u

One thing they dont know is that Bruno is a major problem, he used penalties to claim big players, been watching him since his sporting days and he only started playing more minutes for Portugal when he joined man u...but still Santos drops him on the bench ... Bruno weakens teams, he can sometimes show moments of magic , but he is not consistent.... imagine man u getting over 36 penalties under solsjkaer and thinking the team or Bruno is good enough.... they dont even have a right back ... they dont even have good competition at the back... wissaka wud never be invited to play for England cos he will 4k up attack ... he can't assist a goal , never , he can't score, just look at cancelo , reece james and cancelo , thats y Chelsea City and Liverpool bang in lots of goals.... imagine Ronaldo in any of those teams ... replace Ronaldo with salah and it will become worse for man u

He didn't have 4 goals b4 Ronaldo came... he only scored in one game ... half of his goals last season were penalties... last season was because other teams were having issues with loss of form and injuries.... at this same stage last season after 13 games , they were only on 16 points and 9th on the table... so y blame Ronaldo...

Personally I believe so. I’m a Ronaldo fan but is not a top top player that he used to be. Sometimes he needs to be subbed or even be introduced as a sub but If the manager do this, there gonna be a problem.
