Having recently become chairman of the club, the Brazilian icon says he will shed the pounds in a bid to help the club succeed
Brazil great Ronaldo plans to lose weight in the hope he can contribute in Real Valladolid training after becoming the majority shareholder of the Spanish club.
The former Real Madrid striker acquired a 51 per cent stake for a reported €30 million at the start of September, becoming chairman of the club's board of directors as a result.
It had been unclear as to how much input Ronaldo would have with respect to the first-team squad, with it being suggested that a former player of such standing could have a strong impact on the training pitch.
