Antonio Cassano launched a stinging critique against Cristiano Ronaldo during a broadcast of Viva El Futbol on November 10, 2026, claiming the forward ruined the Portugal national team over the last seven or eight years.
The Criticism of Cristiano Ronaldo
During the broadcast alongside Lele Adani and Nicola Ventola, Cassano addressed the letter with which the Portuguese player announced his farewell to the national team. Rejecting the view that the message was emotional, Cassano stated Negli ultimi 7 o 8 anni Cristiano Ronaldo ha rovinato il Portogallo
and argued that il suo ego ha ammazzato tutte le altre persone
as reported by Corriere Bari.
Cassano maintained that Ronaldo should have retired from the national team seven or eight years ago, pointing to an osceno
World Cup in 2022 and an improponibile
performance at Euro 2024, as well as at the 2021 European Championship won by Italy. He further dismissed the farewell letter as finzione al 100%
.
Attacks on Massimiliano Allegri and Future Predictions
The former player also turned his focus to Serie A and Napoli coach Massimiliano Allegri following a 1-1 draw against Lazio, describing his statements after the match as robe fuori da ogni logica
. Cassano claimed that gathering 15 points in 10 matches places the team in relegation zone form and questioned why the club has not yet dismissed the coach.

Offering a prediction regarding Allegri’s career trajectory once he leaves his current position, Cassano stated that the coach will eventually move to the Fiorentina with Paratici. Meanwhile, the Napoli club leadership has chosen to move forward for now, while questions remain regarding whether a managerial change will ultimately take place as the season progresses.
