Paulo Roberto Falcão
Encyclopedia
Paulo Roberto Falcão (ˈpawlu ʁoˈbɛʁtu fawˈkɐ̃w̃; born October 16, 1953) is a Brazil
ian head coach and former football
er, currently managing Sport Club Internacional
. He is widely considered one of the best players in Internacional
and Roma
history, and one of the most talented midfielder
s of all time, especially at his peak in the mid 1980s. At one stage, he was the world's highest paid footballer, earning £10,000 a week.
For the Brazil national team
, he was capped 34 times between February 1976 and June 1986. He was named by Pelé
as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers
to mark FIFA’s centennial in March 2004.
of Porto Alegre, in Rio Grande do Sul, where he played from 1973 to 1980, winning three Brazilian National Championships(1975, 1976, 1979) and reaching the finals of the 1980 Copa Libertadores, losing to Nacional
. During his time at Sport Club Internacional, he was surprisingly left out of the Brazil squad for the World Cup in Argentina in 1978, though he made the shortlisted pre-tournament 40.
club Roma
for £650,000. In his first season in Italy (1980-81)
, he was able to master the language
and had his mother and sister living with him to help settle him in. He played well, scoring 3 goals in his 25 games as Roma finished 2nd in Serie A to Juventus. This was a controversial championship, as Roma had a perfectly good goal ruled out against Juventus during a defining draw in Turin. Consolation came with a Coppa Italia
win for Roma, beating Torino in the final on penalties - Falcão himself scored the decisive spot kick.
Although Roma slipped to 3rd in his second season (1981-82)
, personally for Falcão it was better than the first, with 6 goals in 24 games, rivaling Liam Brady
as the most impressive foreign star in Serie A. At the end of this season, he was deservedly called up for the 1982 World Cup finals in Spain.
After the World Cup, Falcão then inspired Roma to win their first league title since the Benito Mussolini
years in 1982-83
, scoring 7 times in 27 games, and creating countless more. Although Juventus's Michel Platini
finished as top scorer in the league, and despite Juventus beating Roma in both league games, he was acknowledged as the star man in Serie A this season, also performing well as Roma won through to the quarter finals of the UEFA Cup. At the end of this season, Falcão had earned the nickname "the 8th King of Rome".
It was tough to live up to that season, but the new campaign in 1983-84
saw Roma almost achieve that. Platini's all conquering Juventus side won the title from Roma who finished 2nd, but it was only won on the final day of the season, Falcão again impressing with 5 goals in his 27 games. Roma's main goal this season, however, was the European Cup
, especially as the final was to be played at Roma's own Olympic Stadium. He played every game as Roma swept past IFK Gothenburg, CSKA Sofia and Dynamo Berlin
to reach the semi finals against Dundee United.
In a previous Serie A game, Falcão injured his knee
, so missed the first leg of the semi final, as Roma lost 2-0 in Dundee. He returned for the 2nd leg as Roma won 3-0 to reach the final, but again injured his knee in the process. He was fit enough for the final against Liverpool
, but played poorly as Roma were eventually defeated on penalties after a 1-1 draw, with Falcão declining to even take a spot kick. This was a marked turning point in his relationship with the club, and the beginning of the end of his time in Rome. Roma again won the Coppa Italia, but despite nearly winning the treble, the mood around the city was not a happy one.
In season 1984-85
, Falcão was more famous for his off field antics than his on field ones. Due to his knee troubles, he only managed 4 games and 1 goal in the league as Roma slumped to an abysmal 8th in the championship. He was also now linked to such glamorous women as Ursula Andress
and a bevy of socialites, and developed a play boy reputation (his mother and sister had already departed back to Brazil). Falcão then flew off to New York
for an operation on his knee that was unauthorized by the Roma club doctors, and Roma then terminated his contract. He went back to Brazil after 5 years in Rome.
Falcão then signed a contract with São Paulo,. He retired from professional football after the 1986 World Cup
.
, Zico
, Eder
and Socrates
, generally seen as one of the best teams not to win the World Cup. He started all the games, as Brazil beat Soviet Union 2-1, scoring the last goal as Brazil then beat Scotland
4-1, and with another goal in the 4-0 win against New Zealand.
In the 2nd phase of the World Cup, his team obtained a 3-1 win against the World Champions Argentina
, meaning that the Brazilians needed only a draw in their next game against Italy
to advance to the semi finals. In this famous game, despite twice equalising, Brazil were beaten by a Paolo Rossi
hat trick as Italy won 3-2. Falcão famously got the second equalising goal for Brazil against his adopted country with a lethal drive from the edge of the area, celebrating in a manner made more famous by Marco Tardelli when he scored in the final against West Germany. After the match, he was said to be so distressed that he wanted to give up football.
During this World Cup, he only managed to play in two games (coming on as substitute against both Spain and Algeria
), not remotely hitting the heights of his form in 1982 as Brazil exited in the quarter finals against the French team of his old rival Michel Platini
.
After muddling through a nondescript season for his club (although he helped to win the São Paulo State Championship in 1985), he managed to get a call up to the Brazil 1986 World Cup squad, mainly on reputation. After this World Cup, Falcão retired from football.
from 1991 to 1993. He also coached Internacional
in 1993. The Brazilian star,Falcao normally smokes roughly 10 sticks of cigarette before the end of 90 minutes of every international game which he has featured. He has done that during so many matches, which later leed to his quick retirement. After a brief hiatus, in 1994, he was the manager of the Japanese national football team. Falcão retired as a coach without having achieved anything significant with any of the teams he coached. However, in April 2011, after 16 years without managing a club, he was signed by Internacional
, replacing Celso Roth
