Ronaldinho returns in search of ‘beautiful’ 300th goal
The 46-year-old former Brazil star makes a comeback with Italian third-division side Ravenna after retiring in 2015.
Former Brazilian football star Ronaldinho is returning to the game after a 11-year retirement, with the aim of scoring his 300th goal for Italian third-division side Ravenna FC. The 46-year-old, who won the World Cup in 2002 and the Ballon d'Or in 2005, last played in September 2015 for Brazilian club Fluminense. Speaking at Ravenna's team presentation in Italy, Ronaldinho expressed his joy at joining his former team, stating that he hopes to contribute to their success.
While he remains uncertain about his playing future, Ronaldinho emphasized his desire to help his teammates win. His return to Italian football was announced in June by Ignazio Cipriani, the club's owner, who sees Ronaldinho's goal-scoring ambition as a romantic objective. In addition to playing, Cipriani revealed that Ronaldinho will become a shareholder in the club and will not participate in their upcoming match against Reggiana in the Serie C season opener.
Ravenna FC, who finished third in last season's third-division championship, are aiming to return to Serie B, a division they hadn't played in since 2008.
