Who won the World Cup as both player and manager?
Winning the World Cup once is a career-defining feat. Doing it as both player and manager puts you in a club of just three.
| Name | As player | As coach |
|---|---|---|
| Mário Zagallo (Brazil) | 1958, 1962 | 1970 |
| Franz Beckenbauer (W. Germany) | 1974 | 1990 |
| Didier Deschamps (France) | 1998 | 2018 |
Several of the managers at 2026 are former World Cup winners as players — but joining this list would still be historic.
