Cristhian Noboa is returning after 20 years to the club where he was born as a professional: Club Sport Emelec, a fact that the millionaire leadership had already foreseen.

Carlos Usategui, head of communications for the electric team, said the 38-year-old midfielder already has an agreement with the club and just needs to finalize his departure from Sochi, his last club, in Russia’s top division. .

First, the Russian team published a farewell message to the Guayaquil football player, who joined the team in 2019, on its official website.

“The legend of Sochi and all of our football for the last fifteen years, Cristhian Noboa, ends the stage of his career in Russia,” reads part of the press release of the Russian team.

“The 38-year-old midfielder returns to Ecuador and will continue his career at his parent club, Emelec, where he made his debut in 2004,” he added.

Then it was the turn of Emelec, who, as is customary in recent years, made the signing of Noboa official with a short message.

On his X account, Emelec posted a video of the footballer while he was an electrician with the message: “ZAR is back.” Welcome home Cristhian!” They also stated that he was coming as “free” for a year.

According to unofficial versions, the footballer would arrive in Guayaquil this Wednesday evening, and on Thursday he would be presented by a panel of millionaires. (D)
