Carlos Alberto Parreira discharged after 80-day hospital stay

Carlos Alberto Parreira, the 83-year-old former manager of the Brazilian national football team, was discharged from Hospital Samaritano Barra in Rio de Janeiro this Saturday after an 80-day hospitalization. Parreira, who led Brazil to the 1994 World Cup title, was admitted on June 16 due to acute respiratory failure, likely caused by drug-related pulmonary toxicity.

During his stay, the former coach faced several health complications that required intensive care, including mechanical ventilation, tracheostomy, and hemodialysis. He also manages Hodgkin lymphoma, a condition diagnosed in 2023. Following a positive clinical evolution, he was moved from the ICU to a semi-intensive unit before being cleared for discharge.

Parreira was met with applause and chants of ‘é campeão’ by hospital staff, family, and supporters upon his departure. He will continue his recovery through home-based care and regular outpatient follow-ups under the supervision of a multidisciplinary medical team, including pulmonologist Arthur Vianna.
