  Parreira, Carlos Alberto - coach of the Brazilian football team
It dates back to those years the strong friendship between Parreira and Zagallo, who was the coach of the team in 1970, and assistant coach of Parreira in the Cups of 1994 and 2006.
After being champion in 1970, Parreira took a position as physical trainer in Fluminense, from 1970 to 1974; in 1972, he was assistant coach of the Brazilian team in the Munich Olympic Games; in 1975, he became coach of the same team, his first experience coaching a major Brazilian team.
Parreira then returned to the Middle East, this time to coach the teams of the United Arab Emirates (1985 - 1988) and Saudi Arabia, which he managed to qualify for the World Cup in Italy.
