JOHANNESBURG (AFP) — Carlos Alberto Parreira is set to resign as coach of 2010 World Cup hosts South Africa, Brazilian press reported on Friday, and help his wife recover from major surgery.
Leila Parreira told Brazilian daily newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo her husband had decided to return home 15 months into a contract due to expire only after the quadrennial international football showcase is staged in Africa for the first time.
"I cannot comment on this report until further notice," Parreira told AFP in Johannesburg.
South African Football Association spokesman Raymond Hack said: "I have no comment to make now but will speak on the issue next week."
