Ronaldinho returns for 10-year Barca ambassador role

TIL Desk Sports/Spanish giants Barcelona announced a 10-year deal for legendary former player Ronaldinho to act as an ambassador for the club on Thursday. The Brazilian, who won the World Player of the Year twice as well as two La Liga titles and the 2005/06 Champions League with Barca in five years at the Camp Nou, has not played since a short spell at Fluminense came to an end in September 2015.

“Barcelona and Ronaldinho have reached an agreement so that the Brazilian star will become an ambassador and representative of the club at different events during the next 10 years,” Barca said in a statement. Ronaldinho, 36, will also be part of a Barca legends team that will play exhibition matches across the world.

In the 14 years since, Barca have won four Champions Leagues and eight La Liga titles to Real Madrid`s two European crowns and three domestic titles.
