Enio Vargas de ANDRADE. Coach. Age 58. One of the best club coaches in Brazil and a leading can didate to manage the national team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy. Andrade is sitting in a very hot seat since Inter have a reputation of impatience with coaches who do not produce instant success. Since Andrade was replaced shortly after guiding Inter to the 1980 South American cup final, Inter have gone through no fewer than seven top-ranked team bosses. Mario Juliato lasted only 55 days, then came Claudio Duarte - an old favourite as a player - Sergio Clerici, Ernesto Guedes, Milan's 1963 European champion Dino Sani, Paulo Cesar Carpeggiani (World Club Cup-winning boss of Flamengoin 1981), Otacillo Goncalves - who was lured away to Saudi Arabia - and Homero Cavalheiro. In the meantime Andrade did more than enough to make Inter regret their parting of the ways. A matter of months after leaving Inter he guided neighbours and deadly rivals Gremio to end Inter's three-year domination of the Gaucho league title. In 1985 he took unfancied outsiders Coritiba to triumph in the national championship. He has a number of stock sayings on which he claims to base his success. Such as: "The best blackboard is the pitch." And: "Success depends on a minimum of theory and a maximum of discipline." Andrade returned as Inter coach at the start of May from Sport Recife after turning down an offer from Flamengo, the Rio-based former world club champions.
