Legendary Brazilian Ronaldinho has decided to turn to politics.
"O Globo" reports that one of the greatest footballers of all time from the country plans to participate in the 2018 Senate elections and will try to win a mandate for the Socialist Christian Party.
The political force led by 62-year-old Jairo Bolsonaro stands out for its radicalism, and the former military man himself - for his scandalous statements.
He likes to compare himself to US President Donald Trump, is known for statements that belittle women and sexual minorities, and often talks about the death penalty.
Ronaldinho would not be the first football representative in the Senate - the same path was chosen by Romario, who successfully appeared in the previous elections.
During his career, the former attacking midfielder played for clubs such as "Barcelona," "Milan," and PSG.
