Both Corinthians and Ronaldo have loosely planned for a farewell in June or July. After his professional career, Ronaldo plans on expanding future career as an agent and previously expressed his interest in representing Brazilian talent such as 19- year-old Neymar.
Regarding the recent failure that was Corinthians participation in the preliminary round of the 2011 Libertadores Cup, Ronaldo asked for the fans forgiveness and comprehension. The team's elimination and resultant fan hostility is what cumulated in Roberto Carlos' departure and certainly facilitated Ronaldo's early retirement.
Ronaldo began his professional career in 1993 with Brazil's Cruzeiro. Leaving Brazil, the athlete then played for PSV Eindhoven, followed by Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and then returning to Brazil to play for Corinthians.
During his time with the above mentioned teams, the athlete scored 264 goals. With the Brazilain national team, Ronaldo scored 62 goals and remains the leading scorer during World Cup competition, scoring a record 15 goals.
After his goodbye, the coaching staff and members of the Corinthians team applauded the striker and one-by-one hugged the athlete in his last day as a professional soccer player. Ronaldo closed his discourse by stating that he will be available for any future administrative projects that Corinthians has to offer.
