Diego, son of Ronaldinho’s agent and brother Roberto Assis, is expected to start training with Flamengo’s Youth team next week.
Like his father and uncle, Diego started his football career at Grêmio, but at 12-years of age, he moved to rivals Internacional, spending four seasons at the Beira-Rio. The midfielder then joined FC Porto Alegre last year – who are owned by his father Roberto.
