'It's over' - Ronaldinho's brother confirms Brazilian legend's retirement

[Abdullah719]

Legendary Brazilian playmaker Ronaldinho has officially retired from football, the player's brother and agent Roberto Assis has confirmed.

"He's quit football, it's over," Assis told O Globo. "Let's now do something nice [his farewell], big as it should be, after the Russia World Cup, maybe in August.

"We'll do some events now around Brazil, Europe and Asia. Of course, we're also arranging something with the Brazil national team as well."

The 37-year-old hasn't played professionally since leaving Brazilian side Fluminense in 2015.

Last month, Ronaldinho announced his intention to retire at some point in 2018, saying, "I think I'm saying goodbye to football next year, officially."
