Former Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar has joined Flamengo for three months, after which he’ll retire.
The Brazilian left Benfica in November, and it was assumed that he would hang up his gloves after a successful career.
Now though the 38-year-old has returned to the team where he started his career, signing a three month contract on what is described as “a symbolic salary”.
“I’m happy to come back, I want to be a champion and to finish a brilliant career with this club,” Cesar said at his unveiling.

“I’m happy to come back, I want to be a champion and to finish a brilliant career with this club,” Cesar said at his unveiling.
“If I’m the man I am today, I owe it to my training at Flamengo. I had offers from other clubs, but out of love I want to end my career here.
“I would like to thank the president and Rodrigo Caetano, who embraced this three-month project.
“If I play I’ll try to help, but this is a project to end my career here. There’s no chance of extending the contract.
“I will behave like a professional and I dream of ending my career with a trophy.”
