    Mario Zagallo, who won four football World Cups for Brazil as either a player or coach, has died aged 92

    Mario Zagallo, who won four football World Cups for Brazil as either a player or coach, has died aged 92


    Zagallo was coach of the 1970 side considered by many to be the best ever.

    As a player he played in the team that won Brazil's first World Cup in 1958 and was in the squad that retained the title in 1962.

    He coached the team that featured Pele and won Brazil's third World Cup in Mexico in 1970 and was assistant coach when Brazil won their fourth title in 1994 in the United States.
