    Cristiano Ronaldo says he will not become a coach after his playing career finishes and instead intends to "live like a king."

    In the Spring of 2014, Ronaldo received a request for a donation of football boots and a shirt to help raise $83,000 for a 10-month-old in need of an operation. Ronaldo not only donated the items, but also paid for the operation.

    Cristiano Ronaldo named world's most charitable sports star

    Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the world's most charitable sports star after donating million of pounds to causes across the globe.
    The former Manchester United winger has been recognised for his generosity - where he has raised money for various causes and used his global status as a spokesperson for charities.
    Ronaldo is first having supported Aid Still Required, Cahonas Scotland, Save the Children, UNICEF and World Vision.

    'Cristiano Ronaldo topped the list for going above and beyond on the field and in his charity work. The futbol star raised money for various causes including donating more than $83,000 to a 10-year-old fan in need of brain surgery and giving more than $165,000 to fund a cancer center in Portugal that treated his mother,' Dosomething.org said.

    'Ronaldo has also used his fame as a global spokesperson for a variety of causes including childhood hunger, obesity and biodiversity.'


    Despicable man.

    Why should he become a coach? Putting yourself through all that stress when you don't need it. Today's footballers earn so much through their careers there really isn't the need to put themselves on the line relying on others to keep them in a job they don't really need. Good luck to him, he's made it through skill, ability and a lot of hard work...

    Players at the very, very top like him deserve every penny for their ability. It's bang average players getting millions a year which is far more annoying.

    Now that's a scary thought - folks on this side of the pond often call trousers (or jeans) pants.

    A lot of players give a lot of time and money to charitable causes, including setting up their own foundations etc.. However it doesn't fit in with the medias desired 'stupid idiots getting stupid money for kicking ball of air about' perception, which 'change words to fit' do not seem to apply when an actor gets 20 mill a film!
