Ronaldinho, 34, has played in Brazil since returning from Europe in 2011 after a successful career at clubs such as Barcelona and AC Milan. The playmaker was Brazil's starter in the 2002 and 2006 World Cups, but was left out of the tournament in 2010 and 2014.
He could make his debut as soon as Sept. 12, against Mexican rivals Puebla.
Vazquez did not immediately disclose how much the club paid to sign Ronaldinho.
