Ronaldinho Retires From Professional Football

Brazilian World Cup winner Ronaldinho has retired from football, according to his agent and brother Roberto Assis.

The 37-year-old has not played for a professional team since leaving Brazilian side Fluminense in July 2015.

Last July, Ronaldinho said on the sidelines of a friendly in Chechnya that he was “too old” to return to action.

Roberto Assis confirmed the news of his brother’s decision in a column for Brazilian media outlet O Globo and revealed plans for farewell tribute events after the 2018 World Cup, three years after Ronaldinho’s last club game.

Ronaldinho began his career with Gremio in Brazil before joining PSG in 2001.
