Sinbabad 1,116 Posted January 6 2 hours ago, diego said: Zagallo died With his death, Swedish Kurt Hamrin is the last living 1958 finalist, and Brazilian Amarildo and Czech Josef Jelinek are the last living 1962 finalists. Brazil 1958 Squad is now down to 4 players : Jose Altafini "Mazzola" Dino Sani Moacir Pepe Only the first two, Altafini and Dino Sani, actually played games, the two others being unused substitutes. Zagallo was the longest lived WC winning manager. He was the last 1970 and 1974 surviving manager. He was the earliest surviving WC winning manager, outliving 2 of his successors, Helmut Schon and Enzo Bearzot. Now the earliest surviving WC winning manager is Cesar Luis Menotti. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sinbabad 1,116 Posted January 8 (edited) So it has been 13 years and 15 days (since 2010) between the deaths of Enzo Bearzot and Zagallo, the longest gap between World Cup Winning Managers deaths. The previous "record" was 12 years 5 months and 19 days between Juan Lopez Fontana and Helmut Schon deaths (1983-1996) On the opposite, Zagallo and Beckenbauer died only 2 days apart, the shortest gap between World Cup Winning Managers deaths. The previous record was 9 months and 4 days between the deaths of Aymoré Moreira and Alf Ramsey (1998-1999). Edited January 8 by Sinbabad 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if this is backed up anywhere else, but in any case this suggests why we can't really go off what is written under a YouTube video. The changes on his Korean page seem to go back in forth, but neither dates have a reference to confirm, so could still be total b/s. We need a reliable source for this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
