RIO DE JANEIRO, June 23 (Reuters) - World Cup winner Rivaldo is considering coming out of retirement at the age of 43 to help pull struggling Mogi Mirim off the bottom of the Brazilian second division.
Rivaldo, who is president of the provincial club, said he would train regularly with the squad and might play in some matches, although he played down the idea of a full-blown comeback.
Mogi Mirim have taken only three points from their opening eight games in the Brazilian Serie B and have failed to win a match.
"Once again, I will sacrifice my family for the good of the club but I hope to see our team in a more worthy situation in the competition," the former Barcelona, AC Milan and Deportivo La Coruna midfielder said in a statement.
