description: "He won the World Cup four times — twice as a player, once as a manager, once as an assistant — and no one in football history has matched that total. Zagallo was the first to lift the trophy from both sides of the touchline, and he kept coming back: six tournaments, five finals, a span of nearly fifty years."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Zagallo was a forward on Brazil's 1958 and 1962 World Cup-winning sides, then became manager and led the 1970 team to the title. He coached Brazil again in 1974, finishing fourth, and in 1998, finishing runners-up. In 1994 he returned as assistant manager and claimed his fourth World Cup. In 2006 he served as technical assistant, making it six tournaments in all — five of them finals. In 1992 FIFA gave him the Order of Merit, its highest honor. World Soccer Magazine named him the ninth greatest manager of all time in 2013. He died on 5 January 2024 at 92, the last surviving Brazilian player from the 1958 final.
