Ex-Corinthians boss recalls title days, praises club’s organisation | OneFootball

Even with a brief stint, Carlos Alberto Parreira left a mark on Corinthians with attractive and championship-winning football. Despite spending less than a year, in 2002, he recalls that time with good words, praising the organization of the club and the squad that season.

“It's important to understand the size and greatness of Corinthians, which is like the Brazilian national team, a Flamengo, it's impressive. The club's structure at that time was fundamental, very good. The president (Dualib), Roque Citadini, football director, gave us all the support“, began the former coach in an interview with Batiscast.

“We lacked nothing on and off the field, salaries were paid on time, a fantastic group of players, a good atmosphere. Things flow. Nothing happens by chance. The memory to this day is very fond”, Parreira concluded.

As mentioned, the historic commander's stint at Corinthians was victorious, winning the Copa do Brasil and the Rio-São Paulo Tournament. There were 66 games until his departure to coach the Brazilian National Team, where he was coach until the 2006 World Cup, without success as in 1994.

At Parque São Jorge, he led 36 victories, 15 draws, and 15 losses. In addition to the titles, he also finished runner-up in the Brasileirão, losing to Santos.
