"I'm not sure where I'll retire"
Ronaldinho, now 36 and currently without a team, hasn’t yet hung up his boots despite leaving Fluminese in September 2015, and told a press conference in Guatemala on Saturday that he’s looking for a new side. He’ll choose a team that makes him happy and will make an announcement soon, the Brazilian told the media.
“I’m not sure where I’ll retire yet,” he said between smiles.
