Parreira resigns

JOHANNESBURG: South Africa coach Carlos Alberto Parreira resigned on Monday to return to Brazil to be with his family and ill wife, leaving the national team in disarray just two years before the country hosts the 2010 World Cup.

“It is heartbreaking to not have this job until the end,” Parreira said.

“My family needs me, especially my wife needs me to be near her. After 36 years of marriage, I can’t say no.” Soccer federation president Molefi Oliphant backed Parreira’s decision to be with his wife, Leila. — AP
