(FOLHAPRESS) - Carlos Alberto Parreira, 83, underwent a tracheostomy this Tuesday (7). The procedure creates an opening in the neck and inserts a cannula for artificial ventilation. According to a medical bulletin,...
According to a medical bulletin, Parreira does not expect to be discharged from the ICU (Intensive Care Unit).
"He remains sedated, on dialysis and his health condition, although serious, is stable", informs the note.
Parreira was admitted to the ICU at Hospital Samaritano Barra, in Rio de Janeiro, due to lung inflammation. The former Brazilian national team coach has been hospitalized since June 16.
On the 27th, he underwent surgery to stop a nosebleed after his clinical condition worsened, which led to him needing breathing equipment. After the procedure, Parreira began breathing again without this support.
He got worse at the beginning of this month. Last Friday (3), he was sedated again and started breathing with the help of machines. The worsening condition also compromised kidney function, meaning that Parreira needed to undergo hemodialysis.
In 2024, the coach underwent chemotherapy to treat Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Parreira was part of the technical committee of the three-time world champion team in 1970, working as a physical trainer under the command of Zagallo. The partnership between the two was resumed in the 2006 World Cup, when Parreira returned to being the team's coach, with Zagallo as an assistant. The Rio de Janeiro native also led the Canary Islands team to win four times at the 1994 World Cup.
In 2014, he was also part of the technical committee of the Brazilian team, led by Luiz Felipe Scolari, known as Felipão, during the World Cup held in Brazil. Parreira also managed four other teams at World Cups. It was ahead of Kuwait in 1982, the United Arab Emirates in 1990, Saudi Arabia in 1998 and South Africa in 2010.
Last year, Parreira participated in Carlo Ancelotti's presentation at the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) in a video recorded in the United States.
In the message, he welcomed the Italian.
