Fabio Capello, the former head coach of Real Madrid, has admitted that he once urged the club's then-president Ramon Calderon to offload Brazilian icon Ronaldo Nazario.
Ronaldo enjoys ladies and the nightlife, according to Capello, who also noted that Ronaldo weighed 94 kg after winning the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
In 177 games for Real Madrid, Ronaldo scored 103 goals and recorded 35 assists.
The striker joined Serie A powerhouse AC Milan after leaving Los Blancos in 2007.
“It was the luck of [Real] Madrid when they threw him out. It is a joke… it is not a joke, it is true. I spoke to the president, I told him, “we’ve to throw this one out”. He weighed 94 kilos,” Capello said (via MARCA).
“I speak to him and I tell him “When You won the World Cup with Brazil in Japan and Korea, how much did you weigh?”, and he said: “84”. How is this? With 94, you can’t play. You have to go down, and he did not go down. He really liked living at night, women… But many players left with him.”
