Julio Baptista, sacked by Ronaldo Nazario after some controversial statements

Two years after hanging up his boots, Julio Baptista signed for CFR Cluj in what was a real image blow in 2018.

However, the Brazilian was completely unprepared and left the group from Transylvania after only two games.

The former Real Madrid, Arsenal and Roma player began his coaching career at his friend Ronaldo’s club Real Valladolid, first in the youth groups and then in the second team.

After five and four years, Baptista was sacked due to poor results and Valladolid Promesas relegated to the fourth Spanish division.

Another reason was the conflict with the management of the club, Julio Baptista several times expressed dissatisfaction with players who train with the first team, but speak for the second, according to Marca.

The former player at the age of 42 collected 47 tackles as part of the Selecao, for which he scored five goals.
