Mido says Ronaldo’s Personality Makes It Hard For Coaches To Work With Him
Former Tottenham striker Ahmed ‘Mido’ Hossam has opened up on why Cristiano Ronaldo struggles with coaches. Mido believes Ronaldo’s biggest issue is that his strong personality tends to overshadow the coaches he works with, making it hard for managers to lead effectively. He contrasted Ronaldo with Karim Benzema, saying Benzema respects the coach’s authority and understands his role, which makes working with him smoother.
Ronaldo, known for being outspoken on and off the pitch, famously clashed with Manchester United’s Erik ten Hag during their time together. Now at Al-Nassr, Ronaldo’s future is uncertain after hinting he may leave the Saudi league.
Mido added that many top coaches would hesitate to work with Ronaldo, pointing out that even Inter Milan’s Simone Inzaghi wouldn’t want to manage Al-Nassr while Ronaldo is there. He also noted that Ronaldo only joined Al-Nassr after European clubs stopped showing interest, highlighting the challenges the 40-year-old faces in the final stages of his career.
Asisat Oshoala says she’s ready to help the Super Falcons reclaim their crown at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). The Bay FC striker is set for her fifth appearance at the tournament, which will take place in Morocco. The 30-year-old already has three WAFCON titles to her name.
At the last edition, also held in Morocco, Oshoala only featured briefly due to injury as South Africa took the title from Nigeria. But now, after over a year away from the squad, she’s back and eager to make an impact.
Speaking to NFF TV, Oshoala shared her excitement about being part of the team again. “Scoring goals is what I love,” she said. “It’s been a while since I played with the national team because of personal things going on in my life. But anytime I’m here, I give my all to help the team get maximum points in every game.”
The Super Falcons will kick off their WAFCON 2024 campaign against Tunisia on Sunday in Casablanca. The tournament begins on Saturday, July 5, with hosts Morocco facing Zambia in Rabat, and it will run until July 26.
Liverpool have announced they will retire the number 20 shirt in honour of their late forward Diogo Jota. The club confirmed the decision on Thursday, saying the gesture is a lasting tribute to Jota’s impact at Anfield, especially his role in Liverpool’s Premier League triumph last season.
Jota, who passed away at 28 in a tragic car accident in Spain alongside his brother Andre Silva, played a crucial part in the Reds’ 2024–2025 title win, which marked their 20th league crown. One of his most memorable moments came in April, when his signature shimmy and finish secured victory in the Merseyside derby, the final goal of his career.
Napoli boss Antonio Conte is still pushing to bring Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman to the club this summer. Despite winning the Serie A title last season, Napoli are keen on strengthening their squad with more quality players.
Atalanta are open to letting Lookman leave but only for the right offer. Reports from Italy suggest the club is demanding €50 million for the winger. Lookman, who joined Atalanta from RB Leipzig in 2022, has also caught the attention of Premier League sides Liverpool and Arsenal.
