Ronaldinho to decide on future after Rio Carnival


Former Brazil international Ronaldinho says he has no plans
for retirement and will secure a new club after celebrating
the Rio carnival in February.

The 35-year-old two-time Fifa World Player of the Year has
been without a club since cancelling his contract with
Fluminense in September 2015.

He has spent his time travelling the glove to participate in
charity matches and this week returned to Flu this week to
compete in the Florida Cup in USA where he denied
suggestions he could be set to retire from the game.

"There is a lots to come in 2016,” he told reporters.

“I’ll decide what to do next after carnival. For now, I plan to
travel the world to promote football but now is not the time
to stop. I will play for a little longer.

“It felt good to feel the affection of the fans [in USA]. It made
me very happy. Now I have to get on with my life and do my
best to repay what they have given me.”

Ronaldinho, who did not train with his old club in USA and
admitted he was there in more of an ambassadorial role,
made his 11th and final appearance for Fluminense came
via a substitute appearance in their 1-0 defeat to Colorado
on Wednesday.

In December Chevrolet Brasil Global Tour readers voted him
as Brazil’s best no.10 since Pele
