The Swedish national football team is the national football team of Sweden and is controlled by the Swedish Football Association. What he lacked in physical stature, Zagallo compensated with exquisite technique and by always being the first man back to defend if his team lost the ball.
In 1970, Zagallo assumed the national team after the previous coach João Saldanha resigned alleging that he was suffering external pressures to include players in the team. João Alves Jobin Saldanha ( 3 July 1917 in Alegrete, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil - 12 July 1990 in Rome Zagallo had the task – and succeeded in performing it – of finding a place in the team for a group of outstanding players such as Pelé, Gérson, Tostão, Jairzinho and Rivelino. Gérson, full name Gérson de Oliveira Nunes, (born January 11, 1941 in Niterói) nickname Canhotinha de ouro (literally Golden Eduardo Gonçalves de Andrade (born 25 January 1947 in Belo Horizonte) better known as Tostão, is a former Brazilian footballer Jairzinho, birth name Jair Ventura Filho, (born December 25 1944) is a former Brazilian footballer. Roberto Rivellino (born January 1, 1946 in São Paulo) is a former Brazilian football player In his 1977 autobiography, Pele writes that Zagallo initially restricted his team from playing their attacking game at the 1970 World Cup. Based on a chess format, Zagallo organized a sophisticated method, which he ultimately had to abandon due to player complaints. His side won all six of their matches, scoring 19 times in the process. It was the first time football had witnessed a 5-3-2 formation that could seamlessly transform itself into a 3-5-2 and back again.

He is famously superstitious around the number 13. For example, since 5+8= 13 as well as 9+4=13, he believed that 1958 and 1994 World Cups were special for Brazil. Also regarding the 1994 victory, he used to state that the phrase Brasil tetracampeão ("Brazil four times champion") is comprised of 13 letters.
After being introduced by Cláudio Coutinho in 1978, Zagallo was one of the managers to fully use attacking full backs, a concept he has always remained loyal to -- as the importance of Cafu, Leonardo and Roberto Carlos to the Seleçao’s forward play in 1994 and 1998 stands to prove.
