Carlos Alberto Rumours and Transfers

South Africa Coach Carlos Alberto Parreira is the latest in a long-line of people in the football world to attack Nelson Dida and says it will be better for the goalkeeper to leave Milan.

The Brazilian shot-stopper is currently going through a tough-time after his actions against Celtic during a Champions League tie in Glasgow a fortnight ago.

A supporter ran onto the pitch to celebrate Celtic's last-gasp winner against Milan and appeared to lightly brush Dida's neck. After first turning around to chase him, the 34-year-old then collapsed to the ground and was eventually stretchered off the field.

UEFA's Disciplinary Committee found Dida guilty of breaching 'the principles of loyalty, integrity and sportsmanship' and banned the 'keeper for two games.

Dida has since been blasted by large sections of the football community, and Parreira, who coached the player at Corinthians and for the Brazilian national team, is the latest to have his say.

'I was with Dida at Corinthians and then with Brazil and I can tell you he is a very cold person,' said Parreira.

'He is like a computer; he is everything that you don't expect from a Brazilian person. In Glasgow he blundered for a goal, and then he blundered for another goal, and then he lost his head. I see around him a lot of scepticism. I think the best thing he can do is to leave Milan.'

Parreira is currently preparing 2010 World Cup hosts South Africa for tonight's friendly with Italy in Siena.
