Mario Zagallo is back. Not on the football fields as was the case in 50-60's, but on the Seleção's bench along side Carlos Alberto Parreira.

The old "wolf", 74 years old, under went surgery at the end of May and had not worked since. But on Tuesday Mario Jorge Zagallo was once again incharge of the safety of the Seleção.

Colonel Castelo Branco, also operated on last june, before the Paraguay match returned to the squad. The return of the two men caused emotion scenes within the Brazilian delegation at Granja Comary in Teresopolis.
