April 1968 - Can Carlos Cure Our Cup Hangocer? - Carlos Started coaching too late to affect the result of the Africa cup. He is amazed that Africa's leading soccer nation should not be run more professionally. In Ghana football's hour of defeat comes yeat another soccer saviour. This time it is Carlos Parreira hot from soccer-crazy Brazil. But Carlos arrival was heralded by fireworks all around with yet another wrangle amongst the organisers of our national sport. His name is a long one: Carlos Alberto Gomes Parreira. He is the 24-year-old soccer strategist from Brazil with a stupendous mission: the unenviable task of injecting panache, passion and fresh into the stagnant pool of Ghanainan soccer.
