The former Real Madrid coach has described the star as a "pleasure to manage", insisting the Portugal man is not as vain as people think
The perception that Cristiano Ronaldo is vain and only out for personal glory is wide of the mark, according to his former coach at Real Madrid Carlo Ancelotti.
Ronaldo's Portugal face Croatia in Euro 2016's last 16 on Saturday and Ancelotti, who is taking over from Manchester City-bound Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich for the 2016-17 season, defended the forward against accusations of self-interest.
Ancelotti, who won the 2014 Champions League with Ronaldo and Madrid, insisted the 31-year-old's public image does not match what he experienced as his coach between 2013 and 2015.
