Brazilian legends Ronaldo Nazario and Roberto Carlos have overseen an extraordinary sporting breakthrough as their backed outfit Inter de Limeira secured promotion to Serie B. A dramatic concluding weekend in Serie C confirmed the historic achievement, ending a gruelling 35-year exile from the second tier despite suffering a final-day defeat.
Fernandinho has officially decided to bring down the curtain on an extraordinary career, drawing to a close more than two decades at the top of the game and a trophy cabinet that places him among Manchester City’s most decorated players of all time. The former Brazil international, now 40, confirmed he will not continue playing, ending speculation that had lingered since his return to Athletico Paranaense in 2022.
