Ronaldinho's return to football comes after an 11-year hiatus, during which he last played for Fluminense in 2015. He has a strong relationship with Ravenna's owner, Ignazio Cipriani, and has signed a commercial contract to help grow the club's international brand. The 2005 Ballon d'Or winner expressed his enthusiasm for the move, saying he hopes his presence will bring enthusiasm to his teammates and spectacle to the team.
The Brazilian's return to football has been met with excitement from fans, who have been eagerly awaiting his comeback. However, there has been some scepticism surrounding the move, with some questioning whether it was purely a commercial venture. Despite this, Ronaldinho has confirmed that he is preparing to play at least one official match for the club, although a specific date for his debut has not been announced.
Ronaldinho's return to football marks his second stint in Italy, following his time with AC Milan between 2008 and 2011. The 46-year-old is now preparing to take to the pitch once again, with fans eagerly awaiting his first match for Ravenna.
