Brazil 2002 World Cup winning squad: Where are they now?

#12 Dida

Then

One of the greatest Brazilian goalkeepers of all time, Dida did not play much of a role in Brazil’s 2002 World Cup triumph as Scolari preferred to start Marcos over him. The towering goalkeeper was part of Serie A side AC Milan in 2002.

Now

Dida became the first choice goalkeeper for Brazil in 2003 and he played his last international match in 2006. The Brazilian has the incredible record of saving 6 of the 8 penalties he came up against in international football. After his long and successful spell at Milan, Dida had spells at Portuguesa and Gremio before finally calling time on his career at Internacional in 2015.

#13 Juliano Belletti

Then

Juliano Belletti mainly played as a right-back and when you have Cafu in the squad, it is not so easy to get regular playing time. The Brazilian made a single appearance in the 2002 World CuP coming on to replace Kleberson in the second half of the semi-final against Turkey. Belletti was playing for Sao Paulo in 2002.

Now

After the World Cup, Belletti made a move to Villarreal, before having successful spells at Barcelona and Chelsea. He then moved back to his home country Brazil where he finally retired in 2012 at Fluminese. Belletti like many of his team-mates is a pundit occasionally in his home country of Brazil.
