Second Acts and comebacks, Part Six
1- Daniel
Bravo and Paris St. Germain 1994/96
Former
France forward Daniel Bravo’s career seemed to be winding down at Paris St.
Germain. He was once seen as France’s future bright hope, but had not met
expectations. Once, Luis Fernandez took over at Paris St. Germain in 1994, he
switched Bravo’s position to defensive midfielder. He excelled in his new
position to such an extent that after PSG eliminated Parma in the 1995/96 Cup
Winners Cup, Parma’s Hristo Stoichkov declared him as the best defensive
midfielder in Europe.
His
reward was a move to Parma at the end of that season.

2- Giuseppe
Galderisi and Verona 1983/86
Italian
striker Giuseppe Galderisi was considered a hope for the future while at
Juventus in the early 1980s. However, he was unable to make headway in the star
studded squad of Giovanni Trappatoni.
In 1983, he joined Osvaldo Bagnoli’s ambitious Verona squad. In 1984/85, he was
one of the key elements of the Scudetto winning side and earned a way into the
National team. He was able to make the 1986 World Cup Finals squad.

3- Otto
Rehhagel and Kaiserslautern 1996/2000 and Greece 2001
German
Manager Otto Rehhagel’s career seemed to be over after being sacked at Bayern
Munich in 1996. He surprisingly joined the relegated squad of Kaiserslautern.
After
earning promotion in 1997, he surprised all by winning the Bundesliga title
with Kaiserslautern in 1998 as a newly promoted team.
After
his Kaiserslautern adventure, many considered his appointment as Greece Manager
as pre-retirement. However, he once again surprised everyone by leading his
team to victory in the 2004 UEFA European Championships.

4- Iomar
Mazinho and Palmeiras/Brazil 1994
Brazilian
defender Iomar Mazinho had been one of the heroes of the 1989 Copa America
victory.
His
transfer to Italy (Lecce and then Fiorentina) in 1990 had not been a success
and had in the meantime lost his spot on the National team.
His
move back to Brazil at big spending Palmeiras was just what he needed.
He
slowly made his way back into the national team in time for the 1994 World Cup.
In the World Cup itself, he established himself as a starter in the second
round and won the World Cup.
At
the end of the World Cup, he went back to Europe and rejoined his World Cup
Manager Carlos Alberto Pareira at Valencia.

5- Michel
Dewolf and Belgium, 1993/94
Veteran
Belgium and Anderlecht defender Michel Dewolf had retired from the National
Team in 1991 after years of solid service.
He
was persuaded by national Team Manager Paul van Himst to make an emergency
presence for Belgium’s key World Cup qualifier on November 17, 1993 (vs.
Representation of Czechs and Slovaks). Belgium managed a goalless draw to
qualify for the World Cup with Dewolf being a key presence at the back.
His
display earned him a place in Belgium’s Finals squad for the 1994 World Cup.
