April 1968 - Can Carlos Cure Our Cup Hangover? - National

April 1968 - Can Carlos Cure Our Cup Hangover? - National Soccer coach C. K Gyamfi (right) greeted the news of Carlos appointment as an assault on the integrity of Ghanaian coaches'. A few weeks later Gyamfi was full of Carlos praises. They are in a working discussion at the Accra Sports Stadium. 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.
