Taranto’s main summer signing arrived in town late yesterday night. Brasilian Rodrigo Pinto, known as ‘Rivaldo’, came with his wife and daughter as he was welcomed by sport director Giuseppe De Patto, who took him to his new house. He will start training today and will be there on Thursday for the team presentation.

“I am happy to be back in Italy and see De Patto, Montagnani and Cleber again (all with him at Pineto last season)” said Rivaldo
