Brazil legend Ronaldinho has returned to professional football at age 46 with Italian third-tier club Ravenna, more than a decade after retiring. The former Barcelona star was unveiled before thousands of supporters and will also become a shareholder in the club.

Ronaldinho last played professionally for Fluminense in 2015 and says he hopes to score his 300th career goal. Ravenna’s president insists the move is not merely promotional, although the Brazilian will not feature in Monday’s Serie C opener.
