Brazilian 2002 FIFA World Cup winner Rivaldo, whose full name is Rivaldo Vítor Borba Ferreira, has surprisingly signed a contract with Angolan club side Kabuscorp SC. Rivaldo had last played for FC Sao Paolo in his home country.
For the Angola Premier League club Kabuscorp Sport Clube do Palanca, who finished second last season, bringing in Rivaldo is a massive signing; but locally amongst the Angolan media there is scepticism if the ageing former superstar is more a PR signing then a real strengthening of the team.
Rivaldo, who turns 40 in April this year, has been a globetrotter throughout his carrier. He has not only played in Spain and Italy for football giants like FC Barcelona and AC Milan but also in leagues in Greece and Uzbekistan.
Rivaldo explained his signing in Angola with the reason that they speak the same language and he will be wearing the number 9 jersey.
Earlier there were rumours that Rivaldo's agent was trying to find a club for his client in Europe, but no one wanted to take the risk of signing a nearly 40 year old.
