Brazil's former coach Santana dies at 74

SAO PAULO, Brazil, April 21 (Reuters) - Tele Santana, 74, one of Brazil's greatest soccer coaches, died on Friday in a Belo Horizonte hospital where he had been in intensive care for an intestinal infection since March 25, the hospital said.

 
Santana, who led Brazil at the 1982 and 1986 World Cups, was forced to retire in 1996 following a stroke.


Three years ago, Santana had his left leg amputated below the knee after developing ischemia -- a decrease in blood supply caused by blockage of the blood vessels.

Santana believed in attacking football throughout his career and the 1982 World Cup team, featuring players such as Zico, Socrates, Falcao, Junior and Eder took the game to new heights.

Brazil were surprisingly knocked out in the second round group stage following a 3-2 defeat by Italy in one of the most memorable games in the sport's history.

Santana returned to lead Brazil again four years later in Mexico where they were beaten by France in a penalty shoot-out in the quarter-finals.

Santana went on to coach a memorable Sao Paulo team in the early 1990s, winning the South American Libertadores Cup in successive years and the World Club Cup on each occasion.

He was in charge of Atletico Mineiro when they won the inaugural Brazilian championship in 1971 -- the only time Belo Horizonte's most popular club have been Brazilian champions -- and also coached top clubs Fluminense, Flamengo, Palmeiras and Gremio.

One of the greatest attacking minds in football has died.  That 1982 Brazilian team was worries and problems.

Tele Santana was a believer in the beautiful game...

he complained after the WC '82 that the playing field is not even when one team comes out to play the beautiful game and the other comes out to prevent it by tearing off their jerseys.....(In that WC Brazil's cheap uniforms were at times actually torn by jersey-pulling opponents)

RIP Tele...

Doh say dat Jahyouth. Men who remember what attacking football was really about, will remember his team of artisans. Who could forget when Socrates hit the dummy, Eder flicked up the ball and vollyeyed past the STUNNED russian keeper. I remember the commentator had an orgasm describing their games. Zico, Falcao, Socrates, Junior, and yes, Serginho. This was the beautiful game before it was a slogan and a commercial.
We used to spend HOURS in the backyard and the school playground trying to imitate those guys... God bless you Santana

that is probably my favorite goal of all times.....ah know diego had some sublime solo efforts, but that Eder goal was a different kinda magic.......

there was a video compilation back in the '90's of all the Brazil WC '82 goals.......I think it's safe to say that every goal they scored in that WC was a stroke of genius.....I really don't remember them scoring any scrappy goals in WC '82.

Eder's 2 goals in 1982 were the best of the tournament. Pure magic. Plus he had an unbelievable freekick against Argentina that came off the cross bar and bounce on the line for Zico to toe poke in....it was a nasty swerving bullet from at least 25 yards out.

Tele introduce the world to some boss ballers, including my favorite.....CARECA

Some may know this already...but Careca was supposed to start for Brazil in 1982, but injured his knee 2 weeks before the WC and went home to be replaced by Serginho...who despite a great reputation in Brazil, didn't light it up in Spain. To this day Brazilians feel that if Careca had played instead of Serginho...that WC was theirs...pure ole talk of course...but imagine a young Careca playing with Zico at his peak...

 MADRID, Spain (AP) - Former FC Barcelona player Sergi Lopez Segu died Saturday after throwing himself under a train, Spanish national radio reported. He was 39.




 
Lopez Segu, who played 19 first-division games for the club in the late 1987-1990 and represented Mallorca and Zaragoza, was said to have taken his life in his home town of Granollers, close to Barcelona.

The former player, the brother of AS Monaco midfielder Gerard Lopez Segu, reportedly suffered from personal problems. No details were given.

Lopez Segu's death was the second tragic incident to have affected Barcelona in the past two days.

On Friday, the father of the team's captain Carles Puyol was killed in an accident at work.

A real nice guy.

I used to ask him questions about the team when I saw him in Starlight Gym how many ever years ago, he also used to take his time and explain.

You coulda also find him in Jenny's on the Blvd on a evening sipping a brew.

When we topped the semifinal group ahead of Mexico...Porters was at the helm.

RIP

always gave him credit for sorting out our defensive worries...

                           Hislop
Rougier      Lawrence     Andrews     Elcock

was one of our Best defensive units for a long time..

I think his downfall was inability to deal with our starboy players at the primadonna phase of their careers, and he took the fall for that, but neverthless, he had a great run up to the hex..

RIP and condolences.

RIP Man.

They having some quite touching reminiscing going on on SkySport news fuh the past 20mins or so with ex-playing buddies calling in and Fans (mainly from Sunderland) sending in condolences. They been talking about his playing and management career, apparently he was planning with some of the 73 Sunderland Team to go to the Sunderland-Reading game (didn't know he managed Reading as well!).
