RIYADH, Saudi Arabia—Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest coach spoke of his surprise as he looked out at a room filled with reporters on Tuesday.
Not that they could prevent his slip of the tongue when he mistakenly declared: “For me it is not the end of my career to come to South Africa.” One of the most surprising moves in soccer history has raised questions about Ronaldo’s motives as well as those of Saudi Arabia, amid accusations of so-called “ Saudi’s Public Investment Fund led the takeover of Premier League club Newcastle United in 2021 and on Tuesday the club’s manager Eddie Howe said there was “no truth” in reports it had an option to sign Ronaldo on loan if it qualified for the Champions League next season.
It is, however, a significant step down for a man who has won five Champions Leagues and five Ballon d’Or awards for the best player in the world.Ronaldo’s 701 club goals should also be boosted greatly during his time in Saudi, even if he has struggled for form so far this season. Ronaldo, meanwhile, was greeted as if turning up for a movie premier, stepping out of a white Range Rover with blacked out windows while cameras flashed all around.Wearing a grey three-piece suit and a blue tie, he strode confidently into the news conference to applause before taking his seat.
