Man Utd fans roast Erik ten Hag as Cristiano Ronaldo calls out 'very bad coaches' he's had that 'don't have a f*cking idea about football'

Portuguese superstar Ronaldo has worked with some iconic managers, including Sir Alex Ferguson, Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane. He has enjoyed considerable success at Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner still going strong at Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr.

It has not all been plain sailing for Ronaldo, though, as an emotional return to Old Trafford in 2021 soon turned sour. He butted heads with Dutch coach Ten Hag on a regular basis, leading to his contract eventually being torn up as he was released as a free agent.

Without referring to Ten Hag by name, Ronaldo has told La Sexta when asked what makes a good coach: “He has to have been a player before. If he hasn't been in a dressing room, it's very difficult, impossible. If you look at history, of the 50 best, 48 have been players. I don't have a favourite coach, I learned from everyone. I've had very bad coaches. They don't have a f*cking idea about football.”

United fans have been revelling in Ronaldo’s comments, with @FootyAP saying: “We all know who that is.” @Mohsin_Bahi_01 said: “Cristiano Ronaldo's comments about some of his past coaches definitely stir up some drama.” @sj_pep47683 was happy to get involved with that, saying: “Bodied Ten Hag even in unemployment is crazy petty from my GOAT.” @kingosazexman added “cook Ten Hag” while @evansmemphis chimed in with “cooked that imbecile, love it”.

Ronaldo is now working with ex-AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli at Al-Nassr and former Everton coach Roberto Martinez in the Portuguese national team set-up. There has been talk of CR7 moving into management himself once the day comes for record-breaking boots to be hung up for the final time.
