Four Brazilians chosen among the 100 best coaches in history

Shortly after having named the 100 most beautiful shields on the planet (with the presence of four teams from Brazil), the English magazine FourFourTwo now made a list of the 100 best coaches of all time.

As in the previous ranking, there is a presence of Brazilians: in this case, Carlos Alberto Parreira, Telê Santana, Luiz Felipe Scolari and Zagallo were selected.

Sir Alex Ferguson, winner of 19 titles in 20 years as Manchester United manager, is in first place.

The best-placed Brazilian is Zagallo, ranked 27th and praised mainly for his work in the 1970 World Cup: “Twice world champion as a player, Zagallo coached the best team of all time, when Brazil won the 1970 World Cup. He also managed to fit players like Jairzinho, Rivelino, Tostão and Gerson into the team.”
