Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva declared three days of national mourning on Saturday for four-time World Cup-winning legend Mario Zagallo, a day after his death at age 92.

Lula led a flood of tributes to the man known as the "Old Wolf", who coached Brazil's 1970 World Cup-winning side starring Pele — considered by many the greatest team in history — and served as assistant coach when the Selecao repeated the feat in 1994.

"He was one of the greatest football players and coaches of all time," Lula said in a statement.
