Ronaldinho, 46, has joined Ravenna, a club that made headlines this summer with his arrival. The Brazilian's role and playing time are still unclear, but he has been registered for the Serie C. This means he could potentially make minutes for the team.
Ravenna's vice-chairman, Ariedo Braida, initially suggested that Ronaldinho would not play in the competition, but later backtracked, saying it was not ruled out. The club's goal seems to be to get Ronaldinho on the pitch at least once.
It has been almost 11 years since Ronaldinho last played a club match for Fluminense. Ravenna's owner, Ignazio Cipriani, is a friend of Ronaldinho's and has been involved in the club's international expansion strategy.
Ronaldinho has previously played for AC Milan between 2008 and 2011, winning the Scudetto with the team. He is now under contract with a second Italian club, following his time at AC Milan.
