Corinthians casual employment

My brother has a friend in Brazil. This friend recently wrote him a letter saying that he had been given a job at the famous football club Corinthians, translating into Portuguese for the Argentinian (and therefore Spanish-speaking) manager Daniel Passarella.

It could have been one of the shortest-lived jobs in history. The letter to my brother was written on the ninth of this month. Corinthians sacked Daniel Passarella on the tenth.
