To answer you question:
After being released from AC Milan in December he sat around waiting for the transfer window to open and the offers to come in, eventually he chose the Brazilian club Cruizero (and probably a substantial pay cut).
What I think caused his downfall from European football is his erratic club form, at Barcelona there was always speculation that he doesn't give 100% for the club, but only for his national team.
So then, why would you play a 30 something over the hill striker if you have plenty of younger and more reliable ones, as was the case with Milan last season. The signing of Kaka this season was the final nail in the cofffin, and Rivaldo was busted down to the reserves.
I feel sorry for everyone who bought AC Milan Rivaldo jerseys
EDIT: Henry is brilliant and all but I think POTY should have went to Ronaldo, I mean he got it last year based on good World Cup form and patchy club form.
This year he played superbly for Real Madrid, infact I think right now he's the leading scorer in the Spanish league.
