Carlos Alberto Parreira sacked as Brazil coach
The Brazillian FA have today sacked Parreira.
The reason is unknown however many people think it could be to do with him falling out with Brazil captain Cafu. Brazil will be likley to hire a new coach as soon as possible but who is another matter. Favourites are Martin O'Neil, Mouriniho and some bookies tip Romario to become the national teams manager.

It was a sunny afternoon at the Luton Town club shop, big Luton fan Untitled User was buying a Luton baseball cap.
"Hello sir. Will you want this in a bag?" said the lady at the till.
"Oh one second my phone is ringing." Untitled Users phone was ringing.
"Hello, Mr User."
"Hallo, I am Mr Fatydinho with the Brail FA, I know it may come as a shock but we would like to offer you the Brail job."
"You what!?" Untitled User could not beleive it. Untitled User was currently the manager at non league Berryhill Town. He had taken them from the Luton and District league to the Southern League Division 1 in 5 years. Was this enough to make Brazil want him? Was this a wind up? He was only 26!
"You are having a laugh I take it?" Untitled User shouted.
"No, No, we want you as National Manager. We have a plane waiting for you at Heathrow airport. Just accept the job and you will be on your way to Rio! We bekieve in you."

Untitled User accepted the offer, his family and friends could not believe it when he told them. His Chairman at Berryhill fainted when he was told.
Untitled User got on the plane to Rio.

Ha Ha, how did you guess?

Brazil appoint UNKNOWN English Manager
Brazillians and worldwide football fans are in shock this morning. Untitled User (26) has been appointed as Brazil coach, Pele is horrified.
Untitled User is expected to give a press conferance when he lands in Rio.

After many a talk with the Brazillian FA Cheif Executive I left for a press conference. The Brazil Cheif Executive told me that he expected to see the World Cup return to Brazil next year. I was told that I would be judged by my choice of squad and their preformance against Croatia in a few weeks time.

Press Conference

Brazilian FA Cheif Executive: Please welcome the new manager Untitled User. Please feel free to ask me and Untitled questions.
The Press: What made you appoint this Englishman?
Cheif Executive: He has pride, passion, wisdom, knowledge of the game. He is young. He has guided Berryhill town to 6 succesive promotions
The Press: Untitled, what are your goals?
Untitled User: To win Brazil their 7th world cup!
The Press: 7th? do you not mean 6th? Who will be your Captain?
Untitled User: I will have either Cafe of Juninho Pernambucano as my captain.
The Press: Do you think the players will like you?
Untitled User: If they do they do and if they don't they don't. I don't care if they like me.
The Press: Lots of Brazils internationals such as Cafu, Roberto Carlos and Rivaldo are all older than you and don't look like they will play internationaly after this World Cup. Will you be looking at younger players during friendlys?
Untitled User: Yes I will. Brazil have many good young players such as Fred and Daniel Carvalho who will all get a chance in my squads.
The Press: What is your dream job? How would you lke your future to be?
Untitled User: Well I am one of the youngest managers in the professional game. I would like to stay with Brazil for as long as possible and then maybe go back to England and manage my boyhood club Luton or maybe manage a big European team. However I have to do well in this job first.

The press conference started to repeat itself in the end.
I did not have long till my first game as Brazil manager and decided to get into it right away and make a list of players I was to go and look at in the pre season.
Robinho
Fred
Vagner Love & Daniel Carvalho
Rivaldo
Luisao
Cris
Ronaldo
The above are players who need looking at just to make sure they are international class. I was pretty sure Ronaldo was but lots of people said he was past it.

Untitled User thinks Brazil can win their SEVENTH World Cup
Untitled User does not know anything about the country he is coaching. He yesterday stated he thought he could win Brazil a seventh World Cup.

I woke up. I was staying in a posh hotel in Rio.
It was my first full day in the Brazil job. I had to book a flight back to Europe to watch some of the Brazil players. Before that though I was to look at some of the experienced players in the Brazil league. To begin with I was to go and watch a Vasco match to see if the legend Romario was good enough to play at international level.
I arrived at the São Januário ground to watch Vasco V Santos. I was not sure how the Brazilian football rans would react when they saw me. A few days back they had a world class national team coach and now they had an Englishman who had managed a never heard of side. My dream had been to get Berryhill to the league but that was impossible now. Vasco looked a good side. They had, had some good players play for them over the years, Juninho Pernambucano, Sonny Anderson, Gilberto and of course Romario. The game was very good with Vasco wining 2-0 with Romario scoring a brace. He was nearly 40 but was still brilliant. He was a definate contender for my Brazil squad. I spoke to him after the match about coming out of international retirement and he said that he would but did not think he had a chance of me picking him.
Next I spoke to Santos's Giovanni. Once tipped as the next Pele I knew that he would be excellent backup for the Brazil squad due to his experience. He said that he would love to come back to international football if it was possible.
The next day I flew to Moscow to watch CSKA V Torpedo I was to see how good Vagner and Daniel Carvalho were.

More to come soon, I hope you are all enjoying it.

Interesting story! :thup:


It's been a while since someone started a story about our Nat'l Team.

My plane landed in Moscow. Russia was a very cold country, in winter it was sometimes -28 degrees celcius. As I got off the plane I was told it was 6 degrees celcius that day. One minute I was in sunny Rio and the next cold Russia. I wondered how the Russian footballers played in this cold all year round.
Please excuse my bad spelling, there is a few things I have spelt wrong!

I hired a car and drove to the Dinamo stadium where the city derby game between CSKA and Torpedo Moscow was about to take place. I purchased a ticket and sat on my seat. Vagner Love was starting as the only striker with Daniel Carvalho behind him in attacking midfield. The match was very good with the final result 3-2. Vagner had scored one of these goals and was awarded man of the match. He would be another contender for my squad, assuming that Ronaldo and Adriano were my first choice strikers at the minute Vagner would be the third striker. I would have to come and watch Daniel Carvalho in another match sometime as he did not seem excellent in this match.

After watching the Moscow match I had to head straight for Greece to watch Olympiakos play AEK Athens. When I was on the plane I had a phone call from a man called Ricardo who told me he would be my personel assitant whenever I was at the Brazil FA headquaters. He informed me that Lyon defender Cris had fractured his skull and would be out for a few months. This was a disapointment, however Brazil have many talented centre backs.
When my plane touched down in Greece I forgot that it was not going to be as cold as it was in Moscow and put my winter coat on!
I was on my way to Olympiakos's stadium to see Rivaldo in action.

The Olympiakos match was interesting. 4-4 draw. Rivaldo scored a hatrick and he would be another contender.
With just a week untill I had to name my squad I headed off to the Bernabeu to watch Real Madrid. I wanted to see if Ronaldo was still the Striker I had always admired and if Robinho was really as good as it is made out. Real were playing some Spanish thrid divison team. I felt sorry for the third division team, they were thrashed 9-0. It was only a friendly but they had tried there hardest. Ronaldo had scored a few goals with his strike partner Robinho scoring none. Ronaldo would be in my squad for sure but Ronbinho I would have to see again as he did not impress me. I had wanted to go and see a Lyon match but I had to go to Brazil and prepare to name my squad, on live TV!
