Brazilian football icon Ronaldinho has returned to the sport, joining Italian third-division club Ravenna. The 46-year-old, who retired in 2015, aims to score his 300th goal. Ronaldinho, who won the World Cup in 2002 and the Ballon d’Or in 2005, announced his return in June during the World Cup in Miami. Ravenna's owner, Ignazio Cipriani, revealed the news and expressed excitement about Ronaldinho's potential contributions to the team.
Cipriani emphasized that Ronaldinho's participation is genuine, not merely a marketing strategy. The club, which finished third in the previous season's Serie C, aims to return to Serie B. Ronaldinho, who scored 33 goals in 97 appearances for Brazil, will not participate in the season opener on Monday and will instead become a club shareholder.
