The two-time FIFA World Player of the Year, who captivated football fans worldwide with his skill and flair during his playing prime, will make his competitive return with the Serie C outfit. Ravenna's announcement on Saturday confirmed the veteran's signing, marking a remarkable development in the career of the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star.
Ronaldinho, whose illustrious career saw him win the FIFA World Cup with Brazil in 2002 and claim numerous club honours across Europe and South America, had largely stepped away from professional football in recent years. His addition to the Italian club's roster represents an unexpected chapter in his football journey.
The signing underscores the enduring appeal and marketability of one of football's most beloved figures. At 46, Ronaldinho will become one of the oldest players to return to competitive professional football, drawing renewed attention to Italy's third-tier competition.
While details regarding his contract terms and expected playing time remain limited, the move has generated significant interest among football fans globally, particularly in Brazil and India, where Ronaldinho enjoyed considerable popularity during his playing career.
