Brazil great Rivaldo considers playing comeback at 43

He may be 43, but Brazil World Cup winner Rivaldo is considering coming out of retirement to help Mogi Mirim move away from the drop zone.

Brazil legend Rivaldo is pondering a return to professional football at the age of 43 to help struggling Mogi Mirim in his homeland.

Rivaldo, a World Cup winner with Brazil in 2002, retired in March 2015 after a glittering career in which he represented the likes of Barcelona, Milan and Olympiacos.

However, Rivaldo has started training with Mogi Mirim - where he is also president - with a view to playing for the first team, which is bottom of the Brazilian Serie B with just three points from eight matches.
