Ronaldo is open to becoming a director at Inter and his time there was “the most fascinating challenge of my career.”

The Brazilian is in Milan as a guest of former President Massimo Moratti and will be joined in the stands of tonight’s game against Sampdoria by Jose Mourinho.

“It was wonderful to meet up with Moratti again, as he is like family,” Il Fenomeno told Sky Sport Italia and Mediaset Premium.

Ronaldo is open to becoming a director at Inter and his time there was “the most fascinating challenge of my career.”

The Brazilian is in Milan as a guest of former President Massimo Moratti and will be joined in the stands of tonight’s game against Sampdoria by Jose Mourinho.

“It was wonderful to meet up with Moratti again, as he is like family,” Il Fenomeno told Sky Sport Italia and Mediaset Premium.

“Inter represented the most fascinating challenge of my career. In that period Serie A was the best in the world and certainly the most difficult.

“It was a huge challenge and I’d say it went very well. I had five magnificent years here, Inter will forever remain in my heart.”

Yet Ronaldo forced a transfer deadline day move to Real Madrid just after finally recovering from a series of devastating knee injuries.

“Let’s forget the way we parted. At that moment everything was wrong. We have forgiven each other for our mistakes. I feel at home here with Inter.”

He also ended up playing for their bitter rivals Milan on the other side of San Siro.

“It was a time in my career when I was already on the decline, but I don’t think it was a mistake. Inter were always my favourites and I did offer myself to the Nerazzurri, but at that moment they weren’t interested, so I chose to join Milan.

“As a player I always wanted to score goals and have fun. Even as a professional, playing football remained fun for me. How would I like to be remembered? As a champion in football and a good father.”

Moratti is no longer the President of Inter, having sold his majority share to Indonesian tycoon Erick Thohir.

“I met Thohir in Paris and found him really very likeable,” continued Ronaldo. “He wants to do great things and is always seeking the best solutions for the club. I am convinced he’ll do great things.

“Could I have a role in the club? I’d like to do something, but I am always travelling, so it’s not easy. I’m very busy with the Ronaldo Academy, my soccer school, and other projects like the team in America.

“I can’t rule anything out and it’d be a great pleasure to face this type of new challenge with Inter. If Moratti becomes President again and calls me, I’ll come.”
