Lionel Messi has hinted that he may retire from international football after the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The same speculation has been spread about Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently on international duty for Portugal. The 37-year-old, however, has not welcomed the speculation, claiming he is still only at the beginning of his career. However, a defeat against North Macedonia tonight would ensure Portugal miss the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Cristiano Ronaldo has ruled out becoming a coach
One of the world’s best footballers is rumored to be considering a coaching career after retirement. Both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have a lot to offer the game once they are done playing. However, both have admitted that they aren’t ruling out management at some point in the future. They also hinted at a coaching career while playing and admitted that they may become a coach someday.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, currently playing for Juventus, has hinted at a coaching career in the future. Initially, he rejected the idea of coaching as a post-playing career option, but has since changed his mind. Ronaldo, who has scored 12 goals in 21 games for Juventus this season, said last August that he doesn’t know when he will retire. He said that he believes that smart people improve as athletes.
If Ronaldo is serious about coaching, he may want to retire sooner rather than later. The Portuguese international is currently under contract with Juventus until 2022, but there have been many reports of him wanting to retire earlier. If Ronaldo can retire earlier, it will be a great career move for both sides. If he retires sooner, he will still have enough money to run a fashion label.
As a player, Ronaldo’s record at the highest level is unsurpassed. His spectacular scoring records have helped him win four Champions Leagues and four European Championships, as well as the Ballon d’Or. However, his ego is such that some critics have questioned whether he would ever be a good coach. If Ronaldo is truly confident in his abilities, he would make a great coach.
After his retirement, he may try modelling, instead. As a model, he could continue to stay in shape even after retirement. While his upper-body muscle does not do much in the game, it was likely a byproduct of his years spent in the gym. In addition to this, the strain on his knees has made him an unattractive candidate for a coaching job.
Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano have the best chance of becoming successful coaches
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker has not ruled out the possibility of becoming a coach after retirement. In fact, he once said that he wanted to play into his 40s. He is currently contracted to Juventus until 2022. If his current form continues, he could be in the running for a sixth Ballon d’Or. In addition, the player has illustrated what he might look like as a manager.
As a player, Ronaldo has accumulated a large fortune. This makes owning a team a realistic possibility. He inherited his No. 7 shirt from his old club Manchester United. David Beckham has also opted for coaching after retiring from football. He has a small stake in Salford City and Major League Soccer club Inter Miami. Then, there are a number of other footballing options open to him.
Though he has not declared that he wants to become a coach, he is mulling it over. He is a passionate supporter of football and has been very vocal during his time with Portugal. Although he was not on the pitch in the final, he was vocal in the bench, offering advice to his team-mates. In addition, he may also be interested in coaching if he has the time and talent.
It is possible for Ronaldo to decide that football is not for him after he retires. He might decide that fame and wealth are not worth it, just like David Beckham. He looks a lot older than his age. However, the money is certainly there. His estimated net worth in August 2017 was PS400m, which is largely derived from his salary at Real Madrid. Apart from his Real Madrid salary, Ronaldo has his own fashion label, CR7.
A coaching career might be the best option for him after retirement. He has been impressed with Manchester United and has been their leading scorer since 2011. However, his goal-to-game ratio has dropped this season compared to his career in the past 15 years. Although he has not fulfilled his potential at Manchester United, he is a talented footballer who could inspire the team to achieve their goals.
Tom Brady is unsure if he’s retired
Several weeks ago, Tom Brady announced his retirement from the NFL. While his announcement is no longer surprising, the questions that still persist include: Will he become a coach, or stay in the NFL as a coach? A tweet from Cristiano Ronaldo in response to Brady’s question on Twitter has sparked speculation in football circles. Despite the tweet, Tom Brady hasn’t said for sure that he will remain a coach after his retirement.
When Tom Brady announced his retirement earlier this year, he also confirmed that he would be visiting Manchester United. But the decision to retire was only made when he was still uncertain about his future. So, when we think of “coaching after retirement”, he is clearly referring to football. The decision could affect the future of both the sport and the game. However, he will continue to play as a player even if he isn’t coaching anymore.
As the quarterback carousel starts spinning fast, the focus on whether or not Brady will be a coach after retirement will begin to focus. It’s also likely to have a bearing on how teams choose to handle free agency. While the NFL Draft ends in April, the Buccaneers have the right to Tom Brady through 2022. After two seasons with the Buccaneers, Brady’s relationship with Bruce Arians soured. He was signed to a one-year extension and reportedly had a falling out with his new coach.
Earlier this month, Tom Brady went to see Cristiano Ronaldo in a Manchester United game. Ronaldo’s hat-trick helped the Red Devils beat Tottenham Hotspur. Brady then went to meet the Glazer family, which owns the Buccaneers. But when he was asked if he was retiring, the former Patriot looked unconvinced, and said, “I’m not sure.”
While it seems unlikely that Ronaldo will become a coach after retirement, it’s important to remember that it’s important to stay relevant, and that’s why the two coaches have worked together for so long. However, both coaches are a bit of a Rube Goldberg. Regardless of the circumstances, they’re in a great position to succeed and continue the legacy of the Brady brothers.
