Ronaldinho goes back home, joins Brazilian club Fluminense

A Brazilian icon is going home.

Two-time FIFA World Player of the Year Ronaldinho announced Saturday, on his personal Twitter account, that he's returning to the country of his birth, signing a deal with Fluminense.

For a true artist with the ball at his feet, it's no surprise the artwork accompanying his announcement was aesthetically pleasing.

The 35-year-old attacking midfielder - a World Cup, Champions League, and Copa Libertadores winner over his esteemed career - was released by Mexican side Queretaro last month, leaving him free to move to a club of his choosing.

The Brazilian last showcased his dizzying dribbling skills in his home country when he played for Atletico Mineiro - helping the club win the Copa Libertadores in 2012. His new club welcomed Ronaldinho shortly after he announced the deal himself.

Fluminense will represent Ronaldinho's eighth stop during his professional career - and provides some added intrigue, given that he previously spent time back in 2011-12 with the club's hated rivals, Flamengo.
