Ronaldinho Gaúcho returns to football to invest in Italian club | OneFootball

Ronaldinho Gaúcho is "returning" to football.

But the Wizard, now 46 years old, will not be coming out of retirement.

He will be an investor in Ravenna, which will return to compete in Italy’s Serie C in the upcoming season. 

Ronaldinho is also expected to take part in a celebratory match, which should be one of the marketing initiatives involving the Wizard. 

His presence at the launch of the new kits of the club from northern Italy is also a possibility. The event could take place in the United States, since he is in the country following the FIFA World Cup.

It will mark a reunion between R10 and Ariedo Braida, who is Ravenna’s honorary vice president and signed him for Milan in 2008.

Ronaldinho played for the Rossoneri between July 2008 and January 2011.

He made 95 appearances, scoring 26 goals and providing 27 assists. He won the 2010/2011 Serie A title.
