Real Madrid's new coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Saturday he believes tying down star striker Cristiano Ronaldo to the club "will not be a problem."

Ronaldo has yet to sign a new deal to extend his three-year stay at the Bernabeu, but Ancelotti is confdent the former Manchester United star will stay put.

"Everybody knows he is a phenomenon and a great player," said Ancelotti following a training session.
