Ronaldo Nazario: the unexpected new sport he practices after leaving soccer

Ronaldo Nazario had an incredible professional career and was one of the most emblematic Brazilian players in the world from the 2000s. His career reached to the top when he was at Europe, and he represented important teams as FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan or Inter.

February 2011 was the date in which he announced his retirement. The idol wasn’t playing since 2009, but he joined Corinthians for some last game and then said he was leaving professional soccer forever. Since then, he transformed into a businessman and has been working recently and the president and owner of Real Valladolid Spanish side.

At his 44 years, Ronaldo is not in his best physical form, which prohibits him to practice soccer normally or some other sports he would like to. Recently, he uploaded a photo to Instagram in which he appeared playing tennis with some friends. The legend seems to spend his free time now with this sport.

Even though he was once a soccer idol, he is now entertaining himself with the racket on the tennis court. Ronaldo is living in Spain, due to his work at Real Valladolid and has already said that he wants to stay long in the Spanish club. This is his second experience in soccer after retirement, as he was previously a shareholder at Fort Lauderdale.
