Mario Zagallo at 90 ׀ Living Football Special ׀ Episode 3

The legendary Mario Zagallo celebrates his 90th birthday today. To commemorate the anniversary, we filmed a four-part docu-series featuring never-seen-before footage and images. As well as tributes from Brazilian legends Pele, Pepe, Carlos Alberto Parreira, Jairzinho, Rivellino, Ricardo Rocha, Dunga, Bebeto and Ronaldo, esteemed journalists, and a coach Zagallo had a huge influence on: Jose Mourinho. Part 3 looks at USA 1994, where Zagallo was Brazil’s assistant coach. The episode ends with Zagallo being thrilled to receive a visit from Dunga. “You taught us to love yellow, the Brazil colours,” said the World Cup-winning captain. “You were always defending Brazil – on and off the pitch. You’re an example for all of us.” Get your football fill from FIFA: 👉 👉 👉 👉 👉 👉 h
