Real Madrid legend Ronaldo slams 'not very bright' Capello

Former inter Milan and Real Madrid striker Ronaldo has taken aim at his former coach Fabio Capello.

Ronaldo was speaking with Onda Cero.

“At Real Madrid I arrived late for training twice in the same week, and the first time [Arrigo] Sacchi gave me a lecture and a fine," Ronaldo recalled.

“The second time, before he started speaking, I told him to choose either the lecture or the fine. Capello? He wasn't very bright, he's not among my best Coaches.

“[President] Florentino [Perez] told me to stay at home more and not go out so much. He gave [Luis] Figo as an example, but I told him if I had the wife Figo had then I'd spend more time at home too!"
