Andrea Pirlo insists that he had no problems with Cristiano Ronaldo when he was manager of Juventus.
He directed the bianconeri for the 2020/2021 season after replacing Maurizio Sarri at the helm.
The former midfielder won two trophies in his only season in charge of the club, but Ronaldo left after he did so the following season.
The Portuguese star did not seem to get along with Max Allegri, which hastened his departure from the club.
However, Pirlo has confirmed that he had no problems with the former Manchester United man at Juve.
He said via Football Italia:
“I got along very well with ronaldo. He is an interesting character, a true professional”.
He added: “I think it’s important to find the right balance and be empathetic.”
Juve FC says
Ronaldo was a great contributor to our team when he played for us and the Portuguese star has always been productive.
Not to say he’s not selfish, but he does his job if he feels respected and appreciated.
His recent problems at Manchester United will not define his career because he has had a very good time.
However, we are lucky that he left us the way he did because it could have been embarrassing if he had given us an interview by calling us.
