Zico says Ancelotti just the man to take Brazil back to the top
KASHIMA, Japan: Carlo Ancelotti’s track record of getting the most out of Brazilian players makes him the best man to take the national team back to the top, football legend Zico told AFP. The Italian Ancelotti has vowed to make five-time World Cup winners Brazil champions again next year after becoming the first non-Brazilian to coach the side in six decades. He nurtured Brazilians such as Vinicius Junior at Real Madrid, helping to turn the 24-year-old from a figure of fun because of his inconsistent end product into one of the Spanish league’s biggest stars. Zico is one of the best players ever to pull on Brazil’s iconic yellow shirt and believes Ancelotti’s understanding and experience make him the ideal man for the job. “Ancelotti played with Brazilian players, he has been a champion coach with Brazilian players at several teams and he’s always praised Brazilian players and put them in a position to help him,” Zico told AFP in Japan, where the 72-year-old is an adviser to J.

Ronaldo announces Al-Nassr chapter ‘over’?
PARIS: Portugal icon Cristiano Ronaldo indicated on Monday that he could leave Al-Nassr after declaring that a “chapter is over” hours after the Saudi Pro League finished. Ronaldo, 40, joined Al-Nassr in 2022 from Manchester United and his contract in Saudi Arabia ends this summer. A special transfer window runs from June 1-10 to allow the 32 clubs involved in the Club World Cup to sign players. “This chapter is over,” Ronaldo cryptically said on social media with a photo of him in an Al-Nassr shirt. “The story? Still being written. “Grateful to all,” the former Real Madrid and Juventus attacker added. He posted the message shortly after Al-Nassr lost 3-2 to Al-Fateh in the last game of the season, finishing third. Al-Nassr missed out on the Asian Champions League Elite, losing to Japan’s Kawasaki Frontale in April’s semifinals and were third in the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo ended as the league’s top goal scorer on 24. Last year, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner said he could end his career wit Al-Nassr.
