Explanation

Mário Zagallo won the World Cup as a Brazil player (1958, 1962) and as head coach (1970). Franz Beckenbauer won it as a West Germany player (1974) and as head coach (1990). Cesare Maldini and Vittorio Pozzo do not fit both categories (Pozzo only won as coach, Maldini never won as a player). At the time the question was written, these two were the only ones to achieve this double.
