Stefano Pioli has opened up on Cristiano Ronaldo's attitude at Al Nassr this season.

Newly-appointed Al Nassr boss Stefano Pioli has shared his experience working with the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo.

Pioli was appointed last month and the former AC Milan manager has been tasked with delivering a major trophy for the Saudi giants.

Crucial to fulfilling that task is getting the best out of club captain Cristiano Ronaldo.

Pioli on relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo

Speaking after Al Nassr's King's Cup exit, Pioli revealed what he found after joining the club.

Ronaldo missed the penalty in added time.

"I discovered that Cristiano still has the same passion and enthusiasm as if he were still young, despite his advanced age, always striving for achievements"

Under Pioli, Ronaldo has been on fire, scoring five goals and providing one assist in just seven games. The Italian tactician is impressed.

"He gives his best to score more goals and help the team. He definitely impressed me," Pioli said.
