Mário Zagallo

Mário Jorge Lobo Zagallo (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈmaɾju zaˈɡalu]; born 9 August 1931) is a Brazilian former professional football player and manager, who played as a forward. Zagallo is regarded as one of the best football players of all time and is considered to be one of the greatest world's managers. Physically limited by his low stature, Zagallo began his career as a left midfielder and then moved also due to excessive competition in the role in the role of pure winger, characterized by his usefulness in defensive recoveries and in midfield as well as for his effective attacks on the offensive front.

This is a Portuguese name; the first family name is Lobo and the second is Zagallo.
