Ronaldo completes Fort Lauderdale takeover

Brazilian legend Ronaldo has completed his takeover of American club Fort Lauderdale Strikers.

The 38-year-old purchased a stake in the North American Soccer League outfit last month and revealed that he will have a hand in team management.

Named after the original NASL franchise, Fort Lauderdale Strikers play in the second tier of American soccer, along with clubs such as New York Cosmos, Minnesota United and Jacksonville Armada.

The original Fort Lauderdale are regarded as one of the most famous pre-Major League Soccer clubs in the US, having once featured legendary players such as Gordon Banks and George Best.
