Oct 19, 2009, 22:52 GMT
Rio de Janeiro - Brazilian coach Carlos Alberto Parreira is 'willing to evaluate' a return to South Africa to lead the host team in the 2010 World Cup.
'There is a possibility that there may be an invitation, and I would be willing to evaluate it, if it becomes concrete,' Parreira told the Brazilian television channel GloboNews in an interview Monday.
Another Brazilian, Joel Santana, was removed from the job of South African national coach, the South African Football Association said Monday in a statement.
'Mr Santana would, with immediate effect, vacate his current position as Bafana Bafana national coach,' the statement read.
In the interim, Jairo Leal and Pitso Mosimane would act as 'caretaker coaches,' the statement said, pending a more long-term decision to be made Friday.
