Cristian Ronald:says he will live like a king after football.

C Ronald says he will live like a king when he quit from football, but he does not consider himself remaining in the game as a manager.


The Portuguese international star will turn 31 in February and it’s inevitable that over the next few years there will be rumours about his next move.

However, Ronaldo insists he is not thinking about venturing into a coaching role when his time in the football comes to an end.

"There is options in life after football,” he said in an interview with Papel.

“I think at first it will be hard [not playing], but if you ask me now if I want to coach, I would say no. Neither would I even want to be a club director nor a president.

You can say you have the best job, fortunes cars, houses... but it's not everything.

“One example: On Saturday there’s boxing on in Las Vegas and I would like to go along with my family and friends, but I can’t because I have no time. But after my career, I want to live like a king.”

After all these period spent sparring with Barcelona’s Lionel Messi to be the world’s No.1 player, the spotlight on Ronaldo’s career has led to huge amounts of pressure.

"I can handle the pressure due to the hard life I’ve had,” he continued.
