Ronaldo is set to join Queiroz’s former club, Spanish giants Real Madrid, this summmer.
“I want to congratulate Cristiano,” Queiroz said to the Portuguese media.
“This is a dream that had been there for a year, or at least since I’ve known him.
“Just like (former Portuguese internationals) Luis Figo and Rui Costa, Ronaldo is an example of a talented player, who through his past work coupled with the serious and rigorous preparation done at their clubs and with the federation, has allowed him to culminate his dream.”
