After spending a trophy-laden year with Flamengo, Rafinha has returned to Europe by joining Olympiacos.
Former Bayern Munich defender Rafinha has returned to Europe with Olympiacos after a brief stint with Flamengo.
Rafinha, 34, joined Flamengo in June 2019 and enjoyed a trophy-laden spell that included the Campeonato Brasileiro and Copa Libertadores last year.
But, following coach Jorge Jesus' decision to move back over the Atlantic Ocean to re-join Benfica, Rafinha has also opted to return to Europe, where he had previously spent 14 years of his career.
The former Brazil international spent five seasons with Schalke from 2005, before a solitary campaign in Italy at Genoa.
He then joined Bayern in 2011 and was there until completing his move to Flamengo last year.
