WATCH: 58-year-old Romario back in first training session after coming out of retirement - 'I'm f***ing tired'

Romario returned to training for the first time at the age of 58 on Thursday, as he prepares for a second professional debut at the age of 58. The legendary former Barcelona and Valencia striker announced last week that he was planning to come out of retirement, and joined America de Rio de Janeiro’s session on Thursday.

Unsurprisingly, after over 15 years out of the game, Romario was feeling the pace of the game.

“Regarding training… I’m fucking tired. In a while the stretcher will come to pick me up… I haven’t trained for 16 years.”

Romario is president of America RJ, and made it clear that he would be on penalty duties come what may.

“If there is a penalty… The president will ask the coach to take it. If the coach decides that I won’t take it, the coach will leave and the president will take it anyway. Man, this is the president’s responsibility.”
