What does ZICO mean?
- Zico
- Arthur Antunes Coimbra, better known as Zico, is a Brazilian coach and former footballer. Often called the "White Pelé", he is commonly considered one of the most skilled finishers and one of the best passers ever, and possibly the world's best player of the late 70s and early 80s. He is also considered one of the best playmakers and free kick specialists, able to bend the ball in all directions with pace. In 1999, Zico came eighth in the FIFA Player of the Century grand jury vote. In 2004, he was named one of the 125 greatest living footballers at a FIFA awards ceremony. According to Pelé, generally considered the best footballer ever, "throughout the years, the one player that came closest to me was Zico". With 48 goals in 71 official appearances for Brazil, Zico is the fourth highest goalscorer for his national team. He represented them in the 1978, 1982 and 1986 World Cups. They did not win any of those tournaments, even though the 1982 squad is considered one of the greatest Brazilian national squads ever. Zico is often considered one of the best players in football history not to have been on a World Cup winning squad. He was chosen 1981 and 1983 Player of the Year.
