The football world has taken away one of the most popular news of our time: Ronaldinho officially turns to professional football. 11 years after his final official match, the 46-year-old Brazilian was introduced as a new citizen of the Italian Ravenna - a club that plays in the third-best division of the country (Serie C).
The presentation of the star took place on the shores of the Adriatic Sea and caused quite a stir. Ronaldo has promoted himself to the Ravenna Vlasnikov group, as club president Ignazio Cipriani insists that the Brazilian will not be limited to a desk job.
" We're wondering how the team will come out. I'm here to help. Football has always brought me joy, and I am glad to bring this spirit to Ravenna. Let it feel like a miracle! "
Experts know that signing a contract with Ronaldinho is a brilliant commercial move to popularize the club. It has already been confirmed that the legend will play at least one official match in the 2026/27 season.
The Brazilian has not undergone pre-season training and will definitely miss the opening match against Reggiani on Monday. The exact date of debut is kept secret. His last official match in his career was for the Brazilian Fluminense in 2015.. Ronaldinho will return to the Italian fields during the 2010/11 season with Milan football.
Turning on the football field is observed on the aphids of another Brazilian land. At the same time, Ronaldinho is expanding his influence in European sports, trying to recover from the financial collapse of the Monaco basketball club (the venerable champion of France, which is widely believed by the coach to involve the Ukrainian Sergei Gladir).
A consortium at Ronaldinho's warehouse and the Andoran Clayton Sport fund plans to buy a 90% stake in the club. New investors are ready to securely provide financial guarantees in the amount of over 10 million euros so that the club is not included in the elite division. In fact, lawyers are asking to file a hearing with the French NOC for 5 days so that the Brazilian and their partners can complete all bureaucratic procedures.
