RIP Mario Zagallo

Is he the last one of that 1958 Brazil team?

(Remember watching that World Cup final on bbc "through the wonders of Eurovision" as they called it and marveling at getting pictures all the way from Sweden.)

I believe he is.

I was actually thinking about him the other day, because he was older than Pele and still alive, so was wondering how old he must be. Sad to hear, his Brazil team of 1970 brought so much joy to people and his 98 team with Ronaldo wasn't bad either.
 
Zagallo and now Beckenbauer gone - 2 of only 3 players to have won the World Cup as a player and manager, I read yesterday. Quiz for you - who's the other one?

The commentary was different class back then ,I'd forgotten about those days . No bitter biased stuff, with pundits and commentators alike,genuinely interested in the game.
