And now he admits he wants to carry on working in the world of football, but rules out becoming the new president of the Brazilian FA — for now.

Asked about a potential candidacy, Ronaldo replied: “It would be a great honour for me.

“But first I would like to gain experience by working at a great club.”

Pressed on whether he had anyone in mind, he added: “I am thinking about buying a lower league team in Spain or England.

“I want to do something innovative. I believe I am ready for this challenge.”
