Mario Zagallo’s legacy as a football legend remains untouched. Nicknamed El Lobo (The Wolf), he has played a part in 4 out of 5 World Cup wins for Brazil. He played for Brazil as a midfielder/forward from 1958 to 1964 and won two World Cups in 1958 and 1962, playing a key role in both campaigns.
He returned to coach Brazil in 1970 and inspired them to win the World Cup that year managing great players like Pele, Jairzinho, Tostao, Gerson, Rivelino and Carlos Alberto. He was the first manager to use the 5-3-2 formation and it helped Brazil immensely as they won all 6 of their matches and scored 19 goals in the World Cup.
He returned as Assistant Manager for Brazil in 1991 and introduced the attacking full-back tactic that helped Roberto Carlos, Cafu and Leonardo shine. He led Brazil to their 4th World Cup in 1994 and became the first person to win the World Cup as both a Player and Manager.
