Cristiano Ronaldo has, unsurprisingly, thrown a tantrum after Jorge Jesus dared to leave him on the bench. This is not the first time Ronaldo has had a falling-out with a manager. Ronaldo has thrown a wobbly and committed his own Saipan after he walked out of the Portuguese squad, claiming there were “reasons behind my departure” which he was not yet going to say. A bit like that ‘irrefutable proof’ Manchester City reckon they have. The now 41-year-old, who is really too old to be doing this kind of thing, has apparently had a rift with Jesus but this is not the first time he has had a falling out.

So, Cristiano Ronaldo has fallen out with Portugal manager George Jesus, and it's certainly not the first time in his career that this has happened. We've gone back through CR7's entire career and have picked out every manager and coach that he's fallen out with over the years. The first was Carlos Keros, who first worked alongside Ronaldo at Manchester United, where he worked as one of Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant coaches. However, the fallout came with Ronaldo when Kios eventually landed the Portugal job in 2008. Things seemed to be fine during Keros's first couple of years in charge. But by the time Portugal had exited the 2010 World Cup, things had definitely soured between the two. Upon being knocked out of the tournament by Spain after the match, Ronaldo was asked the reasons as to why Portugal lost, to which he bluntly replied, "Ask Keros." Now later on, Ronaldo further clarified that he didn't intend to throw the blame on the manager, but that's what he kind of did in the aftermath of the match. And later in 2014, Kios himself came out and said that he's not even spoken to Cristiano Ronaldo since he suggested that he was to blame for their defeat in 2010. Next came Jose Mourinho. Now, putting Mourinho and Ronaldo together at Real Madrid was always going to produce something worth watching, and boy did it. While the pair didn't always see eye to eye, they were unbelievably successful together. Ronaldo won his first Spanish league title playing under Mourinho. And in 164 games under the special one, Ronaldo scored 168 goals, by far the most he's ever scored under any manager during his entire career. However, the tension between the pair became apparent after a copel ray match against Valencia back in 2013. During the game, Mourinho had consistently told Ronaldo to track back, especially in the later stages of the game where Real Madrid were hanging on. And then after the match in the dressing room, Mourinho once again hammered home that message, which Ronaldo didn't take too kindly to. After digging out Ronaldo in the dressing room, CR7 reportedly replied by saying, "After everything I've done for you, this is how you treat me. How dare you say that to me?" Mourinho quickly diffused the situation and eventually the pair did put it behind them, but it did show that there were a few cracks even in that relationship. Next up, we're going to Juventus because in November 2019, Ronaldo had a bit of a bust up with Moritzio Sar. This came while Juventus were playing AC Milan and in the 55th minute, Sar made the brave decision to take Ronaldo off and Ronaldo understandably wasn't too pleased about that. He left the pitch muttering to himself and walked straight down the tunnel. And according to reports at the time, Ronaldo left the stadium before the full-time whistle had even gone. But in fairness to Sari, the substitution worked out. Paulo Dybala, who came on in replace of Ronaldo, went on to score the winner. So Sar's job was done and dusted. But unsurprisingly, after the match, all of the questions were about Cristiano Ronaldo and his reaction to being brought up. In fairness to Sari, he did diffuse the situation pretty well. He claimed that the reason he took Ronaldo off was because he was struggling with his knee earlier in the game. And the pair eventually put any differences they had with one another aside as they went on to win the league title that season with Ronaldo finishing as the top scorer. And it's safe to say that Ronaldo's little outburst at Sari certainly wasn't the only time in his career when he was my to be brought off early. He also reacted angrily to Sir Alex Ferguson after being brought off in the Manchester derby back in 2009 and had a similar frosty reaction to Zinedine Zidane when he brought him off against last Palm Master during a game in 2016. Although like with Sari, neither of those substitutions led to any long-term beef that Ronaldo had with those coaches. The same can't however be said for this next manager because in January 2022 after Manchester United boss Ralph Ragnik substituted Ronaldo against Brenford while the Red Devils were 2-0 up, Ronaldo was visibly frustrated on the bench and demanded an explanation from Ragnik as to why he'd taken him off. And reading between the lines everything that's come out in the aftermath of Ronaldo's time working with Ragnik, it's clear that Ronaldo never really saw him as someone that he could take seriously. During Ronaldo's infamous interview with Piers Morgan, he described Ragnik as someone who's not even a coach. So, safe to say that he wasn't best pleased with how Ragnik was using him. But if you thought their relationship was bad, that was nothing on Eric Tenhog. Because when Tenhog arrived at Old Trafford, the question marks over how he'd utilize a player as old as Ronaldo into his system were already being asked. And the beef between the pair quickly started to boil over. In October 2022, Man United beat Spurs, but Ronaldo was left as an unused substitute, which prompted him to make a scene and walk off down the tunnel before the game had finished. And Tenhog subsequently confirmed that Ronaldo was asked to come on late in that game, although Ronaldo himself refused, which led to him being dropped from the squad for their next game against Chelsea. This would then lead to Ronaldo going on peers Morgan with the bombshell interview being dropped in November just before the World Cup that year. Ronaldo went on to heavily criticize Tenhog during the interview stating that he didn't respect the manager as the manager hadn't respected him. Ultimately after that, it was the point of no return. United were left with little choice but to cancel his contract. Regardless of what you think of Ronaldo and how he behaved in his later years at United, it was a shame for him to go out that way, especially in European football because since then he's obviously been playing in Saudi Arabia for Al-Nasar. Later that same year, Ronaldo also kicked up a force against Portugal boss Fernando Santos. This came after Ronaldo had reacted unhappily to being brought off against South Korea with Santos himself publicly criticizing Ronaldo for his reaction to the substitution. And as a result of Ronaldo's actions, he was left out of the starting 11 against Switzerland, which saw his replacement, Gon Carlo Ramos, score a hat-tick in the game. This then sent the whole media and social media into a frenzy over whether or not Portugal were actually better off without Ronaldo. And the remainder of the tournament for Portugal was all a bit farcical with most of the media attention on Ronaldo and whether or not he'd be playing from the start. He was left on the bench again during their quarterfinal clash against Morocco before being brought on in the second half. But ultimately Ronaldo couldn't make the difference and Portugal bowed out in quite painful circumstances. And then a year on from Portugal's World Cup exit, Santos confirmed that he'd not even spoken to Ronaldo since they parted ways in the national side, leading some fans to speculate that there's still a bit of beef between the pair. And that now brings us up to the current day where Ronaldo has once again had a bust up with his Portugal manager, now George Jesus. The fallout all revolves around Jesus reportedly going back on his word over whether or not Ronaldo would be involved in one of Portugal's matches over the most recent international break with Jesus originally planning to give Ronaldo 30 minutes against Norway. CR7 then warmed up but was never brought on because Jesus had changed his mind during the game to not use Ronaldo in that match. But Ronaldo took this as a major mark of disrespect, walked out of the entire Portugal camp as a result of it, publicly accused the manager of breaking his wares, and produced an eight-point apology document that he wanted Jesus to read out himself during a press conference. Now, while Ronaldo did dramatically walk out of the Portuguese national camp during the recent international break, this isn't necessarily the end of his international career, as he will make himself available for the next international break should he and the manager find some common ground in the time being. But it's all just a little bit messy, isn't it? And speaking of Lionel Messi, looking at the sendoff that he's just had from everyone in Argentina upon him announcing his international retirement, it's sad to see that Ronaldo isn't really going out in the same way. But we'd love to get your guys' perspective on all of this in the comments down below. What do you make of Ronaldo and the bust ups that he's had throughout his career? Do you think he's the reason to blame for a lot of it, or do you point the onus more at the head coaches? Let us know. Apart from that though, guys, that will now wrap it up for today's video. Thank you very much for tuning in and we'll see you all in the next
