Zico - The "White Pele"

Legendary Brazilian footballer Arthur Antunes Coimbra is better known as Zico or "White Pele".

He was one of the most skilled dribblers and finishers ever and possibly the world's best player of the early 80's.

Zico played for Brazil in the 1978, 1982 and 1986 World Cups, and scored 66 goals in 88 matches.

He is often considered one of the best players in football history to have never been on a World Cup winning squad.

Later on , Zico has coached the Japanese national team.

He was announced as the head coach of Fenerbahçe of Turkey in 2006.
