Ronaldinho will be replaced by former Brazilian captain Cafu, who is a double World Cup winner (1994 and 2002). He will be at the helm of the team.
It has been learnt that Ronaldinho has been appointed the brand ambassador of Paralympic Games in Rio which will be held after the Olympics, and he needed to head back to his country.
“I would like to thank all the people involved with Premier Futsal. It has been a pleasure to be with you all. I thank you all for all the love and support I'm leaving with. Best of luck,” Ronaldinho said.
Owing to Cafu’s delayed arrival, and to allow the Goan futsal fans to see their new captain in action, the league will be rescheduling a few games.
