Carlos Humberto Paredes, Paraguayan footballer

Carlos Humberto Paredes Monges (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkaɾlos umˈbeɾto paˈɾeðes ˈmoŋɡes]; born 16 July 1976 in Asunción, Paraguay) is a Paraguayan coach and former footballer.

His style of play led the Paraguayan media to call him the "Master of the Midfield". Paredes played defensive midfield, though he could also play as centre-forward, being a lethal header. He also had exceptional leadership capabilities on the field, where he was constantly marshalling instructions to the rest of the team.

His first major competition as a coach was the 2016 Toulon Tournament with the Paraguay national under-23 football team.
