Under Scolari’s guidance, Portugal reached the 2004 UEFA Euro final, narrowly losing to Greece.
In a recent statement to TheNassrZone, Scolari expressed his delight at Ronaldo's positive experience in Saudi Arabia. “I felt happy when Cristiano Ronaldo told me: ‘I am very happy to be here in Al Nassr and I live well here.’ This is what I was waiting to hear from my son who has worked with me for many years,” he said.
Ronaldo, now with Al Nassr, continues to thrive in his career, bringing his extensive experience from clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus to the Saudi Pro League. Scolari's reflections highlight the bond and mutual respect between the two, as well as Ronaldo's successful transition to life in a new league.
