Athens, Brazilian superstar Rivaldo has signed a two-year contract with AEK Athens football club after falling out with the management of his former team, Greek rival Olympiakos Piraeus.
Olympiakos won the 2006-2007 Greek first division championship earlier this month. AEK came in second, securing its participation in the Champions League third qualifying round.
The 35-year-old attacking midfielder, who was also the FIFA player of the Year in 1999, said that being with his family in Athens played a major role in his decision.
The left-footed Brazilian will be the best-known player to wear AEK’s yellow and black jersey in its 83-year history.
