5 players who could become great managers

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo’s hunger would make him a great manager

“I think a lot about it.”

This was Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo’s reaction when asked if he considers a career in management after retirement.

The Portuguese forward is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world right now. He has achieved a lot in his career so far including three Ballon d’Or awards and is a great leader on the pitch. He is an idol for any young player and can motivate players like no one else.

Ronaldo is not a stranger to managerial roles as he has egged on his teammates from the sidelines a couple of times. In the Euro Cup final, he was forced out after taking a knock but still shouted instructions throughout the match at his teammates from the touchline. A similar scenario occurred when he was ruled out of a Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.

Obviously, he has played under a number of great managers like Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, and Carlo Ancelloti. Playing in top divisions in Portugal, England, and Spain, he certainly has enough knowledge of the game to cut it as a manager. If not anything, his tremendous desire to succeed and dedication could make him a top manager.
