Mário Zagallo

Mário Zagallo was a Brazilian footballer and manager whose career became inseparable from World Cup history. He won the tournament as a player in 1958 and 1962, then as Brazil’s coach in 1970, and later as an assistant in 1994—the first person to achieve World Cup victories in both playing and coaching roles. He died in Rio de Janeiro on January 5, 2024, aged 92.
