WATCH: Cristiano Ronaldo the manager?! Al-Nassr superstar tries his hand at coaching during shooting drill with fans

The Portuguese superstar offered a mix of technical advise and some morale-boosting reassurance as he took the rookies through a host of different shooting challenges for a promotional video.

The video offers fans a peek of what life after playing could look like for the record-smashing star and harked back to scenes from the Euro 2016 final where an injury in the final saw him replaced after just 25 minutes. From the sidelines, Ronaldo set about directing his team, at time usurping manager Fernando Santos with his enthusiastic tactical input.

The playing game remains to the fore for now with Al-Nassr shortly to resume their chase for honours domestically and in the Asian Champions League, where they have progressed to the last sixteen. And, of course, there is the small matter of a meeting with Lionel Messi as Inter Miami pay a visit to Riyadh.
