After the baptism of retirement, the former Real Madrid iron defender Coentrao retired from the world for more than a year, but accidentally ushered in from the Portuguese Football Federation's "settling scores" - a fine plus a one-match ban.
The last stop of Coentrao's career was Rio Ave, where in April 2021, after a match against Boavista, the player himself was severely punished by the Football Association for a misdemeanor. A suspension and a fine of 850 euros were the "end of the line" for his career.
In the official statement of the Portuguese Football Federation, we get a glimpse behind the incident. Although 486 days passed between the incident and the final verdict, it was only 8 days between the disciplinary hearing and the final verdict issued by the Disciplinary Committee. Even though Coentrao has retired from the game, he cannot escape responsibility for his disciplinary actions.
It is worth mentioning that Coentrao won 2 La Liga laurels and 2 Champions League trophies for the team during his 5 years at Real Madrid. After his retirement, he realized his childhood dream of buying a fishing boat and living the life of a fisherman.
