Ricky Regufe, who played an instrumental role in Cristiano Ronaldo’s landing a contract with Al-Nassr worth around £ 175 million a year has quit his job with Portugal national team and will take a bigger role with the legend in Saudi Arabia.
Regufe was part of the national team setup for 20 years, but announced he was quitting in a post on social media.
“It was a pride and a privilege to have served my country as a member of the National Team over two decades,” he wrote.
Regufe added a picture of Portugal triumphing at Euro 2016, which was followed by winning the Nations League three years later.
“I lived unforgettable moments and made friendships for life. I saw up close the national team winning the two major trophies it has won so far and I watched Cristiano Ronaldo become the best player in the world.
“I thank the players, coaches and staff for everything we’ve experienced together. A new stage begins but the desire to see our national team win is always the same!”
Regufe usurped super-agent Jorge Mendes as Ronaldo’s right-hand man, as the attacker’s relationship with Manchester United fell apart.
