Parreira caught up in coach dismissals in Brazil

RIO DE JANEIRO: Former national coach Carlos Alberto Parreira became the latest victim of Brazil's coaching merry-go-round when he was sacked by Fluminense on Monday after just four months in the job.

Parreira was one of three trainers sacked on Monday after less than five months in their jobs, with nine having joined, left or changed clubs in the opening 10 matches of the Brazilian championship.
