The extraordinary career of Ronaldinho Gaucho has come to an end, his brother and representative Assis has confirmed. Currently working as an ambassador for Barcelona, the 37-year-old admitted in a recent interview that he felt too old for football and he has decided that now is the right time to walk away from the sport he has given so much too.

"He does not want to play professionally anymore," his brother Assis told UOL Esporte.

"There is no [tribute match] arranged right now, but I'm sure we'll do one after the World Cup."

Ronaldinho last played professionally for Fluminense in 2015, having previously represented Gremio, PSG, Barcelona, Milan, Flamengo, Atletico Mineiro and Queretaro.
