Angel Di Maria claimed they once had a dressing room fight after the star winger was accused of laziness at Real Madrid.
But tensions definitely seemed to have cooled with Ronaldo reportedly wanting Mourinho as the Portugal manager before Roberto Martinez got the gig.
They were at the Bernabeu for three years together and won the La Liga title in the 2011-12 season.
Even by his high standards, Ronaldo enjoyed an outstanding year and scored 46 goals in 38 league games.
His old rival Lionel Messi still managed to beat him in the scoring charts by getting 50 La Liga goals but his Barcelona side finished 9 points behind.
