Zico spent most his career playing for Brazilian side Flamengo.

Arthur Antunes Coimbra, better known as Zico is one of the legends of o jogo bonito. He was often called the 'White Pele' because of his exploits on the pitch.

He wore the iconic No.10 jersey for the Seleção. As an attacking midfielder his goalscoring stats are ridiculous. In 697 club games he scored 476 goals and in 71 matches for Brazil, he managed a staggering 48 goals.

But he will go down in the history books as one of the best players ever to have never won the World Cup in their careers.

He joined ISL side FC Goa as their head coach in the inaugural edition of the competition. He spent 3 years at the club, taking them to the finals in 2015. But after a disastrous 2016 season, the club let his contract expire and they parted ways.

He brought in World Cup winning players like Robert Pires and Lucio, while at the helm of the affairs at the club.
