Ronaldo has said he would retire from the game in 2011 once his deal with Corinthians ends.
The former PSV, Barcelona, Inter, Real Madrid and Milan striker announced his plans to stop from playing in a press conference in Brazil. “I renewed my contract for another two years and this will be my last,” Ronaldo said. “I will play until December 31st, 2011 and then I will retire from playing football. “I want to give my maximum for Corinthians and to finish my career having won something important with this shirt.” He won the Player of the Year award thrice during his career. Reports suggest the striker would be offered a director’s role at the club once he retires.
