Real Madrid New role for ex-Brazil star with Los Blancos

A familiar face has returned to Real Madrid, with Brazil legend Ronaldo Nazario becoming an advisor to president Florentino Perez and global ambassador for the club.

The fourteenth anniversary of the striker's signing from Inter, following his stunning performances that inspired Brazil to victory at the 2002 World Cup, is on August 31, and he is still thought of fondly at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

As Zinedine Zidane's appointment as coach in January proves, Perez is keen on bringing a number of his former Galacticos side back to the club in different capacities.

But with Brazil hosting both the World Cup and Olympic Games over the last two years, Ronaldo's return had not been possible until now.

Nicknamed El Fenomeno, aka the phenomenon, Ronaldo is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, scoring 104 goals in 177 games for Real while also enjoying successful stints at Barcelona, Inter and PSV Eindhoven.
