Carlos Humberto Paredes Monges (Spanish pronunciation: ['ka?los um'be?to pa'?eĆ°es 'mo?ges]; born 16 July 1976 in AsunciĆ³n, Paraguay) is a Paraguayan coach and former footballer.
His style of play has led the Paraguayan media to call him the "Master of the Midfield".
Paredes plays defensive midfield, though he can also play as centre-forward, being a lethal header.
He also has exceptional leadership capabilities on the field, where he is 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.
