Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted to missing “big bear” Carlo Ancelotti and hopes to be reunited with him at some stage in the future.

Ancelotti was sacked by Madrid at the end of last season after two years in charge, securing a 10th European title for the club before failing to prevent Barcelona from winning a domestic and European treble the following season.

The Italian has remained out of work since, despite being linked with a return to the Santiago Bernabeu as well as Manchester United and Bayern Munich.

Ronaldo says he enjoyed his time under Ancelotti and hopes their paths cross again at some point.

“Mr. Ancelotti was an unbelievable surprise. In the beginning I thought he was more a tough person, kind of arrogant, and it was the opposite,” Ronaldo told ESPN.

“He’s like a big bear. He’s a cute guy, such a sensitive person. He spoke with us every day. Not just with me but with all the players. He had fun with us.

“He’s an unbelievable person. I just wish every player could have an opportunity to work with him because he’s a fantastic guy, a fantastic coach and I miss him a lot because we won many trophies together. And I wish to work with him one day again.

“But now I’m good. I have a new coach and I’m happy too, but it’s great I have good memories.”
