Shocked by the large number of coaches fired while leading C.Ronaldo

During his career, C. Ronaldo has worked with 20 coaches at both the national and club levels. Notably, 12 of them (60%) were fired during the Portuguese superstar's time as a coach.

Manuel Pellegrini (Real Madrid)

Pellegrini led C. Ronaldo in his first season at Real Madrid (2009/10). However, he was fired in May 2010, giving way to Jose Mourinho.

Carlos Queiroz (Portugal)

Coach Carlos Queiroz was fired on September 9, 2010 after a series of scandals with the Portuguese Football Federation. Before that, he was also unsuccessful at the 2010 World Cup when the Portuguese team was eliminated in the round of 16.

Jose Mourinho (Real Madrid)

Coach Mourinho was C. Ronaldo's coach from 2010 to 2013. Despite his success, he had to leave after the 2012/13 season when Real Madrid was empty-handed. In particular, the "Special One" had certain conflicts with CR7.

Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid)

After succeeding Mourinho, coach Ancelotti helped Real Madrid win the Champions League but he was fired after a trophyless 2014/15 season. C. Ronaldo has a special affection for the Italian coach. This player expressed his feelings when he heard the news of his dismissal.

Rafa Benitez (Real Madrid)

After 25 matches as Real Madrid coach (including a 0-4 defeat to Barcelona), coach Rafa Benitez lost his job. The Spanish coach was also not liked by C. Ronaldo and many Real Madrid players.

Paulo Bento (Portugal)

After the 0-1 loss to Albania in the Euro 2016 qualifiers, coach Paulo Bento left the Portuguese national team. Previously, the "European Seleccao" was eliminated in the group stage of the 2014 World Cup.

Massimiliano Allegri (Juventus)

Coach Allegri was fired after the 2018/19 season when he failed to help Juventus compete successfully in the Champions League. However, this season, C. Ronaldo received the Serie A top scorer award with 28 goals.

Maurizio Sarri (Juventus)

Just a year later, coach Maurizio Sarri was also fired for the same reason, although Juventus still won Serie A. The defeat to Lyon in the 1/8 round of the Champions League made the Old Lady's Board of Directors unhappy. CR7 continued to be successful with 37 goals in all competitions.

Andrea Pirlo (Juventus)

Juventus's Serie A dominance ended under coach Pirlo. The team only finished 4th in the 2020/21 season. However, C. Ronaldo still maintained his form with 36 goals this season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (Man Utd)

Returning to Man Utd in the summer of 2021, C. Ronaldo worked with coach Solskjaer. However, the Norwegian strategist was fired a few months later (November 2021) due to the team's poor performance.

Fernando Santos (Portugal)

Coach Fernando Santos is said to have had a conflict with C. Ronaldo because he left the player on the bench in two matches against Switzerland and Morocco at the 2022 World Cup. He lost his job just a few days after the tournament ended. It is worth mentioning that C. Ronaldo did not send any words of gratitude to his long-time collaborator.

Rudi Garcia (Al Nassr)

Once again, C. Ronaldo was rumored to be leading a group of rebels who "overthrew" coach Rudi Garcia at Al Nassr. The number 7 striker was not satisfied with the French coach's playing style. The two only worked together for 12 matches at the Saudi Arabian club.
