RIP
Mário Zagallo, who won two World Cups as a player, one as a coach and another as an assistant coach for Brazil, has died. He was 92.
The first person to win the World Cup both as a player and a manager, Zagallo is for many Brazilian football fans synonymous with patriotism, grit and glory. The Brazilian football confederation president, Ednaldo Rodrigues, confirmed Zagallo’s death in the early hours of Saturday, stating he “is one of the biggest legends” of the sport. No cause of death was released by the federation or his family.
