# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born 27 February 1943, Carlos Alberto Gomes Parreira built a managerial career on an unusual foundation: he rose through the coaching ranks without a playing past. That path led him to manage five different national teams across five World Cup editions, a journey of adaptability and tactical range. In 1994, he delivered Brazil their fourth world title. A decade later, he added the 2004 Copa América and the 2005 Confederations Cup. He also became the only manager to win the AFC Asian Cup with two separate Asian sides, a feat of reinvention across continents. His last post was with South Africa, closing a tenure that redefined what a manager's résumé could look like.
