On November 22, Ronaldo responded directly to rumors about his interest in becoming the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation during an interview at a recent event. He stated that it has always been his dream.
Earlier, Brazilian media reported that Ronaldo had reached a secret agreement with Pep Guardiola, and he would invite Guardiola to coach the Brazilian national team once he becomes the president of the confederation.
When asked about the rumors, Ronaldo said, “I have always said for many years that I want to become the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation in the future, and this idea hasn’t changed. We will wait for the right time to make this happen. I am well-prepared.”
“Obviously, Brazilian football needs significant changes. But my words are meaningless for now. I am not one of the candidates for the presidency, and I have no plans to run at the moment.”
“(Regarding the rumors about Guardiola) you can’t put the cart before the horse. Let’s see what happens in the future. I already have many ideas, all prepared for the day when I truly become the president. But we can’t speculate at this point.”
