Two-time FIFA World Player of the Year Ronaldinho lost his job at Fluminense earlier this week after a torrid three months that yielded no goals nor assists.

Now it looks like things have gone further downhill for the former Barcelona star as his SUV was spotted teetering on the edge of a ditch Friday.

Rather than receiving a rope from a helpful stranger, the 35-year-old was the recipient of a loving arm and a selfie with a jubilant fan, delighting in finding his hero stranded on the side of a Rio Grande do Sul road.
