Former Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has taken a parting shot at his old team’s biggest star Cristiano Ronaldo, saying the striker thought he knew it all.
Mourinho, who is returning to Chelsea next season after three divisive years at the Santiago Bernabeu, was asked why relations between the two Portuguese compatriots had deteriorated.
“Cristiano had three fantastic seasons with me, all of them,” the 50-year-old Mourinho told Spanish television Intereconomia’s sports programme Punto Pelota in a recorded interview released Wednesday.
“I think we found a fantastic tactical situation for him to express his potential in goals,” he said of the 28-year-old.
“I had one problem with him, very simple, very basic, and it was as a coach to criticise him from a tactical point of view, trying to improve what I believed could be improved,” Mourinho added.
“He did not accept it very well because he thinks probably that he knows it all and the coach cannot help him to grow more.”
