Out of all the "best coaches" he mentioned, who the fuck is Fernando Santos?

Yeah... absolutely elite list. I'll take that comment with as much as weight as him praising Juventus with his "even Juventus" is better run than Man Utd.
Ofc his point is that Ralf is utter shit and didn’t know what he was doing not that all the other coaches he worked with were geniuses.

Ronaldo won the Euros with him as the coach. Makes sense that he included him.

My guess would be speaking negatively about fellow players and staff or the club is probably in that realm.

I'm speculating what it could have been, but I have seen Man U trying to cancel his contract for cause vs mutual termination. Kind of like the Ricky Williams deal ages ago.

As an aside, I've worked for companies who had Social Media policies about negative press and employment.

How did he breach his contract?
They almost always have obligations about not discrediting the club in public and such. There's also the fact that Ronaldo made it impossible to continue working with him. When a party unilaterally undermines the execution of a contract, you can have the contract terminated in a lot of countries.

It's going to end in a big settlement though, because United are never hesitant to burn some money.

players don't have a regular work contract though. fifa regulates this and they make clubs pretty hard to terminate a contract unilaterally. it requires just cause which has a vague explanation in any fifa document i could find. ( i tried to look it up when we had that terrible run recently as the same goes for coaches, and it's really not that well explained.)

i also think that they'll reach some agreement. players very rarely get fired. i can't really remember any honestly.

I think that always has a pretty vague explanation, because it depends on the circumstances. To me termination would be justified, mostly because Ronaldo has made further collaboration impossible.

Come on. Not to defend his petulance, but let's not act like this is the first time a player has publicly fallen out with his manager.

Get Samuel E'to or Zlatan a few beers and ask them why Pep Guardiola is a genius.

Breach of contract is when you ain't got anything better.

They didn't go out and give interviews to Piers Morgan ( :lol2: ) though, while being employed by Barcelona.
