Parreira Fired By Fluminense
After just 4 months on the job, Coach of Rio de Janeiro’s tri-color team Fluminense was fired
“Sharpened guillotine,” said globoesporte.com website.
“Carlos Alberto Parreira is no longer trainer of Fluminense. The decision was agreed by the club’s board and sponsor this Monday morning,” said a statement on the club’s website (www.fluminense.com.br).
After 5 matches without a single victory and a loss on Sunday to a sub-par team the wrath of Brazilian Soccer Culture came down hard and struck the trainer with the mighty blow of being canned.
Parreira, who steered Brazil to World Cup victory in 1994 and was also at the helm in the 2006 finals in Germany, was in his third spell at “Flu”, the team he has referred to as being closest to his heart.
