The first person to win the FIFA World Cup as both a player and coach, Mario Zagallo was as instrumental a figure as any in Brazil’s rise to prominence as a global football power.  

Zagallo, who died on Friday at the age of 92, was the only surviving member of the Brazil team that lifted the 1958 World Cup, the country’s first title and one that eased the pain of a traumatic defeat by Uruguay at the Maracana eight years prior.
