The former legendary striker of Brazil could not cope with the work of the owner of football clubs.
The first pancake turned out lumpy. Former legendary football player Ronaldo began to get rid of his football teams, unable to cope with the owner’s work. This was reported by Mundo Deportivo.
Moreover, he was the first to lose his special club. “Zubastic” sold his home club, Cruzeiro, to the owner of the BH Supermarkets supermarket chain, Pedro Lourenço. The former Barcelona, Inter and Real Madrid striker received 109 million euros for 90% of the club’s shares.
Ronaldo got Cruzeiro in December 2021. Then the team was in a difficult situation. The club played in the second division of the Brazilian Championship. In addition, he had huge debts of $195 million, because of which he was threatened with bankruptcy. Ronaldo assumed all obligations by paying the former owner $78 million.
At first, Ronaldo’s reign paid off. Cruzeiro returned to the elite of Brazilian football and finished last year’s championship in 14th place.
However, the legendary Brazilian came under fire from fans after the team lost to arch-rivals Athletic in the final of the Mineiro championship.
However, the sale of Cruzeiro is just the beginning, and the 2002 Ballon d’Or winner plans to dispose of his other football assets.
The 47-year-old Brazilian has already announced that he plans to sell Spanish Valladolid in the near future.
“I answered quickly – Valladolid is next.
I will probably do something related to the football industry in the future. Now I will try to be more responsible in the next projects,” Ronaldo said.
Let’s add that things are not going well for Ronaldo at the Spanish club. The Brazilian took over Valladolid in 2018, since then the club has been relegated twice from La Liga.
This season the team aims to return to La Liga. Five rounds before the end of the championship, Valladolid is in second place, three points ahead of its nearest rivals.
Let’s remember that Leicester won the Championship before and returned to the Premier League.
