World Cup 2018: 4 legends who have finished both as winners and runners-up in the tournament's history

#1 Mario Zagallo

Former Brazil manager Zagallo

The great history of Brazilian football is linked with one Mario Zagallo. 'The Professor,' as he is known to his players, is a legend not only in his homeland but all-round the world, having played a role in four of the five FIFA World Cups won by the Seleçao. If there is one thing that silences all the critics, though, it is the long list of honors Zagallo has accumulated over the years.

The Brazilian's fingerprints on four FIFA World Cup trophies speak for themselves. A true icon of the Brazilian game, he won two of them as a player in Sweden 58 and Chile 62, one as national manager in 1970 and another as an assistant manager in 1994. Only German legend Franz Beckenbauer in the history of world football can match Zagallo's feat of having been crowned world champion as both a player and a coach.

Zagallo was a coach and finished runners-up in the 1998 final defeat to France in France that also happened to be his last contribution to the national team.
