Former Brazil and South Africa (Bafana Bafana) coach Carlos Alberto Parreira is cleared to leave hospital following treatment for pneumonia. The 83-year-old had been admitted earlier this month and then remained under medical care as his condition was monitored.

According to reports, Parreira initially shows a favourable clinical response during his hospital stay. One outlet also says his illness worsens after admission, leading to surgery, and notes that he is later cleared to be discharged. The accounts describe the same overall timeline—hospital admission for pneumonia, subsequent medical interventions, and eventual clearance to leave—without detailing further outcomes after discharge.
