#16 Zico – The White Pele
Trending
The legendary Brazilian forward scored 48 goals in 71 appearances for the national team and the legendary Pele himself said, “If there was one player who came close to me, it was Zico.”
He was part of the Brazil team that finished third in the 1978 FIFA World Cup. He formed a devastating partnership with Socrates and tormented opposition defences when they played together.
It wasn’t just his playing career in which Zio was successful. He won the AFC Asian Cup in 2004 with Japan before reaching the Champions League quarterfinal in 2008 with Fenerbahce. He also reached the semifinal of ISL 2014 with FC Goa before guiding the Gaurs to a runners-up finish in the next year.
