The ‘Fenómeno’ wants to interfere in the choice of the coach that will be carried out by the CBF and in which Luis Enrique is the favorite
The president of the Confederação, Ednaldo Rodrigues, plans to travel to Europe to finalize the hiring of the new coach
Ronaldo intends to take advantage of all his popularity and prestige to interfere in the election process of the new Brazilian coach that is being carried out by the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues.
The ‘Fenómeno’ has come into contact with the leadership of the Confederaçao to offer their services when acting as an intermediary with the future technician, which, in practice, means putting a spoonful to designate a person on your rope.
During the World Cup in Qatar, everything Ronaldo said at the different events organized by FIFA had a great impact in Brazil. In fact, he ended up acting as a kind of unauthorized spokesman for the Seleçao, because he marked the agenda with his daily interventions.
At 46, Ronaldo is the visible face of two clubs: Real Valladolid, which is fighting to stay out of the relegation positions in the Primera División; and, in his country, Cruzeiro, which under his management finally managed to get out of Serie B to return to the elite of Brazilian football.
Luis Enrique, in pole position
The process to find the new selector has accelerated after the last Tuesday the bureaucratic process of the end of the Tite contractwho had already made the decision not to continue in office many months before the start of the World Cup.
The CBF has already decided that it will break with the established norm and that the new coach will be a foreigner. Ednaldo Rodrigues is looking for a coaching profile that recovers the prestige and offensive essences that have always characterized the Seleçao. In addition, he wants the new coach to also put his stamp on the ‘verdeamarela’ base categories.
As SPORT has already advanced, the best placed to take the reins of the ‘canarinha’ is Luis Enriquetaking into account the impossibility of having Pep Guardiola, which was the number one option, and with Carlo Ancelotti (Which would have Ronaldo’s approval).
