Defensive midfielder Pierre has left Atlético Mineiro to sign for Fluminense, ahead of the start of this year’s Brasileirão.

The 33-year-old was a lynchpin of the Atlético side which won the 2013 Copa Libertadores, but has fallen out of favour under current boss Levir Culpi and is hoping to get his career back on track with a move to Rio.

Pierre told Fluminense’s official website: “First, I want to express my feeling of joy and happiness to wear the Fluminense shirt, for its grandeur, its history. It is a club accustomed to winning many titles. What fans can expect is a Pierre with the characteristics of will, determination, guts and commitment.”
