Carlos Mozer

International career Mozer played 32 times for Brazil, over roughly ten years. He made his senior international debut on 28 July 1983, in a 0–0 friendly draw against Chile. He was a member of the team that finished second in the Copa América later that year, appearing in the 3–1 aggregate defeat to Uruguay in the final. After missing the 1986 FIFA World Cup through injury, he was picked for the 1990 edition in Italy; he was booked in the first two group stage matches (both wins), and did not appear in the round of 16 against Argentina, a 1–0 elimination.

Originally selected for the 1994 World Cup as well, Mozer was diagnosed with jaundice, left out of the squad and replaced with Aldair. His final appearance came as a substitute in a friendly match earlier that same year, a 2–0 win against rivals Argentina on 24 March.

Managerial career After working some years as a sports commentator for Sport TV – he resided in Portugal – Mozer eventually became a manager. On 24 October 2006, he signed a two-year contract with Angolan club G.D. Interclube, leading them to the 2007 Girabola title but being dismissed from his post in April 2008 after a 3–0 away defeat against Zamalek SC in the second round of the CAF Champions League.

On 6 July 2009, Mozer agreed to a one-year deal with Raja Casablanca of Morocco, being sacked shortly after. In December 2010 he returned to Portugal, becoming Associação Naval 1º de Maio's third coach in only 14 matches, with the Figueira da Foz team eventually ranking last in the league; in early November 2011 he was appointed at the other side that had suffered top-level relegation, Portimonense SC.
