World Cup winner Rivaldo has joined Brazilian champions Cruzeiro, the club said today.
Cruzeiro, based in Brazil's third-largest city of Belo Horizonte, said the former Deportivo Coruna, Barcelona and AC Milan striker had signed a one-year contract. He will be officially presented by the club on Thursday.
Rivaldo had been a free agent since being released by AC Milan last month after spending a year in the reserves. He described the experience as the worst of his career.
Last weekend Rivaldo was linked with a move to Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad.
