Ronaldinho leaves Fluminense after nine games

Just more than two months into his stay, two-time FIFA World Player of the Year Ronaldinho has left Fluminense.

Brazilian star Ronaldinho is leaving Fluminense less than three months into his contract with the club.

The former Brazil international joined the club on a one-and-a-half year deal in July, but his departure was confirmed Monday.

Ronaldinho, 35, struggled to have an impact at Fluminense, failing to score in nine games for the Serie A outfit. The two-time FIFA World Player of the Year was booed by his own fans during a league game in August. The club confirmed the termination of his contract on its website.
