Barcelona Legend,
Ronaldinho has declared that he will officially retire from football in 2018 to
focus on a music career and his football schools.
Ronaldinho, who has not
played professionally since leaving Brazilian side Fluminense in 2015, said he
will hang up his boots for good next year.
The legendary Brazilian
playmaker, who is now 37-year-old, said he is ready to officially leave the
game behind.
“There is this chance, I
think I’m saying goodbye to football next year, officially,” Ronaldinho said.
“I might play some
farewell games for the teams I’ve played for, it’s something we’ll have to
think about sometime soon.”
With his playing days
officially behind him, the former Brazil international says he is set to focus
on his football schools and his burgeoning music career.
“Once I’m retiring from
football, then I’m moving forward on my musical projects, my football schools.
It’s something new for me, I’ll have to adapt.”
In March, Ronaldinho
launched his solo music career with his debut single “Sozinho” which,
unsurprisingly, features a laid-back samba groove.
Ronaldinho won many
honours during his glittering career with Fluminense, Barcelona, Paris
Saint-Germain and AC Milan including a World Cup with Brazil in 2002, the Ballon
d’Or in 2005, and the Champions League with Barcelona in 2005-06.
