Former England and Real Madrid boss Fabio Capello has labeled Brazilian legend Ronaldo Nazario as the greatest talent he ever managed.
However, the praise came with a blunt reminder of why their partnership ended.Speaking to Marca, Capello admitted that while Ronaldo’s skill was unrivaled, his off-pitch habits led to his exit from the Santiago Bernabéu.
“He liked life and didn’t like losing weight,” Capello revealed, noting that he eventually had to “kick him out” of the squad.
Despite the friction, Capello was clear on the striker’s rank: “If you ask me who the best player is, it is him easily, by far.”
