Description

Ronaldo Rodrigues de Jesus (born 19 June 1965 in São Paulo, Brazil) is a Brazilian former footballer, initially known on the football pitch as Ronaldo and then as Ronaldão (big Ronaldo) to differentiate him from his younger compatriot and teammate, also dubbed Ronaldo, who was nicknamed Ronaldinho (little Ronaldo) before this was adopted by footballer Ronaldinho Gaúcho.

A former defender, Ronaldão played 14 matches in the Seleção (Brazil national football team) between 1991–1995, scored two goals, and won the 1994 FIFA World Cup with the Brazilian national side, although he did not take part in any games; he was called to the World Cup in its opening day, traveling from Japan to United States as a substitute for injured Ricardo Gomes.

He was also successful for his club sides, winning numerous trophies.
