Cristiano Ronaldo as a coach? That’s what first came to mind when we saw him taking on that role during the Euro 2016 final.

The bench is an unusual place for the Portuguese star, but in those moments of pure adrenaline, he didn't stop giving instructions in the final minutes of the match against France, helping to organize and, most importantly, calm his teammates who were fighting for the title on French soil.

It was clear that Cristiano was extremely nervous at that moment, putting his hands on his head and repeatedly telling them not to take risks with the ball.

Fernando Santos had the help of his top player to secure what became Cristiano Ronaldo's first title with his national team, Portugal's first European Championship, after beating France on their home turf.

The big question is whether Cristiano Ronaldo took his first steps as a coach, and if this is the path he will take once he retires as a footballer.
