The sublimely talented Ronaldinho was signed by the Mexican club last September on a two-year deal, in the hope he may recapture some of the form that earned him back-to-back FIFA World Player of the year awards, in 2004 and 2005, during his golden years at Barcelona.
A series of sub-par performances had the 34 year-old struggling to win over fans and when he failed to turn up to training last week, Queretaro coach Victor Manuel Vucetich had enough, axing him from the weekend 1-0 loss to Toluca which leaves his side second from bottom in the league.
Ronaldinho's flashes of brilliance in Mexico:
"They (the fans) are calling him 'Robberdinho' ... and it is undeniable the Brazilian star's time in Mexican football has left a lot to be desired where it matters most: on the field," said a report in the Estadio newspaper.
"The world champion has not dropped his party lifestyle in the land of the Aztecs."
One week shy of his 35th birthday, Ronaldinho's party reputation - consolidated after he left Barcelona in 2008 during tumultuous stints at AC Milan, Flamengo and Atletico Mineiro - appears to have again caught up with him.
An unnamed executive told Reuters the club has no intention of extending the 2002 World Cup-winner's two-year contract, predicting he will head to the United States once his time in Mexico is over.
