Brazilian football legend Ronaldinho has come out of retirement at the age of 46, signing with an Italian third-division club in what he says is a pursuit of his 300th career goal. The former FC Barcelona and AC Milan star, widely regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation, announced his return to competitive football describing the milestone as a personal quest for a "beautiful" goal. The comeback is set to draw significant international attention to the lower reaches of Italian football, where the 2005 Ballon d'Or winner will now ply his trade.
