The Portuguese superstar joined Juventus from Real Madrid at the beginning of the season, and has already had a big impact in the dressing room and in games.
Bianconeri boss Massimiliano Allegri feels that, because of the hard work and perseverance Ronaldo has shown this year, there is no other player in the world who deserves to win the prestigious prize this time around.
"I've coached big players like Ronaldinho, (Clarence) Seedorf, (Andrea) Pirlo, (Alessandro) Nesta, (Gianluigi) Buffon, and Ronaldo (Nazario)," the former AC Milan chief said, according to the Daily Express.
"And there are more. Champions are special. Ronaldo is so much focused on training and hard work, he is impressive.
"Ronaldo has improved us. He is different from the others. He has settled in well, he is an incredible goalscorer.
"He deserves to win the Ballon d'Or. I hope he will win it."
