Cristiano Ronaldo's closest adviser Ricky Regufe has quit his job within Portugal's national football team to focus on the attacker's career.
Regufe usurped super-agent Jorge Mendes as Ronaldo's right-hand man, as the attacker's relationship with Manchester United fell apart. The former Nike executive was charged with negotiating Ronaldo's exit from the Red Devils and his move to Al-Nassr.
That contract with the Saudi Pro League side brings in a bumper £175million per year for Ronaldo, who Regufe works for as his personal manager. Regufe combined that role with a position in Portugal's national football team, working for them for 20 years.
