Cristiano Ronaldo remains one of the most outspoken footballers on the planet, but even he has gone a step too far this time.
The Portuguese, who celebrates his 40th birthday on Wednesday, is still doing the business in front of goal.
On Monday against Al Wasl in the Asian Champions League, Ronaldo scored twice in a 4-0 win.
There’s little doubt he’s one of the best players of his generation, perhaps one of the best ever, but being humble was never his strong point.
Now he’s taken some of his former coaches to task, and whilst he hasn’t named any directly, it’s fairly obvious who he’s talking about.

“I had some really bad coaches,” he was quoted as saying by Fabrizio Romano on X.
“Some of them don’t have a f*cking clue about football at all.”
Whilst he’s lacked class in the past, this is a new low. There’s simply no need for such headline-grabbing antics.
Ronaldo recently dropped a hint about his future, and the disrespect he’s shown with his latest interview may mean he’s persona non grata as far as football coaches are concerned.
A move to Wrexham hasn’t been ruled out either, in what would be an incredible coup for Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
Despite such an incendiary outburst, Ronaldo remains a goal scorer par excellence, and if he’s able to stay fit for another two or three seasons, then the incredible mark of 1000 goals would be well within his reach.
