Flamengo have confirmed the signing of former World and European Footballer of the Year, Ronaldinho, from Milan.

Club president Patricia Amorim told the club’s official website: “We are pleased to announce the hiring of Ronaldinho for the next four years.

“I thank the board for the discretion and wisdom throughout the negotiations.

“This project started from the first day I got the presidency.
