Sport: Cristiano Ronaldo Announces the End
Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed new details about his upcoming retirement in an interview with Piers Morgan. The 40-year-old Portuguese icon confirmed that his professional career will conclude soon, describing this transition as emotionally challenging.
“It will be very, very difficult,” confessed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, admitting that he would probably cry during his farewell to football.
Despite the emotional impact, Ronaldo said he has been mentally preparing for this stage of life since his mid-twenties, showing a remarkable awareness about his post-football future.
Away from the pitch, CR7 ruled out a move into coaching or club management. Instead, he plans to devote more time to his family and his various business ventures.
“I’ll have more time for myself, for my family, to raise my children,” he said, also noting his enthusiasm for UFC and padel.
Ronaldo, who still aims to reach 1,000 career goals (currently standing at 952), expressed nostalgia for Manchester United, a club he still holds dear but now finds “sad” to watch.
As the football world prepares to close a significant chapter, Ronaldo appears ready to embrace a new chapter in his life beyond the game.
