The Passing of Brazilian Football Legend Zagallo

Mário Zagallo, who won the FIFA World Cup four times with Brazil as both a player and a coach, including the 1970 team considered by many to be the best of all time, has passed away at the age of 92. Zagallo was a talented and strong player, playing as a left winger, and was part of the Brazil squad that won the World Cup for the first time in 1958, maintaining his place in the team as Brazil repeated the victory and retained its title four years later. He coached his national team in 1970, which included historic greats such as Pelé, Gérson, Rivellino, and Tostão, a team regarded by many as the greatest national team ever to play the game. He was an assistant to Brazil's coach Carlos Alberto Parreira in the 1994 edition when Brazil won its fourth title, and again in 2006 when they exited in the quarter-finals. He was the coach of the national team in 1998 when Brazil lost 3-0 to the host nation France in the final after star striker Ronaldo suffered seizures just hours before the match commenced.
