Cristiano Ronaldo’s time at Juventus was not satisfactory, according to the club’s former sporting director Giuseppe Marotta.
After enjoying the heyday of Real Madrid between 2009 and 2018, Cristiano Ronaldo chose to take on a new challenge by wearing the colors of Juventus. During his three seasons in Serie A, the five-time Portuguese Ballon d’Or won two league titles and an Italian Cup. On the other hand, he failed to lead the Old lady towards a coronation in the Champions League which he did not make it past the quarter-final stage during his visit to Turin. And this is perhaps why his recruitment remains partly a frustration for a former manager of the club.
Former general manager of Juventus, now sporting director of Inter Milan, Giuseppe Marotta raised the subject in comments relayed Tuesday by Mundo Deportivo. For the latter, the disappointment is still very present years later. “ His signing did not yield the expected results. Let’s say that his contribution did not correspond to the expectations generated by his arrival. » Recruited for 105 million euros by the Italian club, the Portuguese has nevertheless scored a lot with Turin, exceeding the hundred goals mark (101) in 134 matches.
Euro objective
Then returning to Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo left a year and a half later to join the Saudi club Al Nassr. Still active with the Portuguese selection, the veteran of almost thirty-nine years (he will be on February 5) hopes to shine next summer during Euro 2024.
