Beckenbauer basically managed the ‘74 team, so that makes two managerial world cups :D

Pep Guardiola – core of the dream team, conductor of the triplete – and Cruijff are tied for mine. Rijkaard could also get a nod, but his player achievements are not high enough.

Mario “Two world cups as a player, two world cups as staff” Zagallo would like a word with you about who is the best player/manager.

World Cup winner 1958 as a player (Imma let you finish, but the Oranje Total Football of 1974 was one of the best styles in the world, the best in the world!)
World Cup winner 1962 as a player
World Cup winner 1970 as manager
World Cup fourth place 1974 as manager
World Cup winner 1994 as assistant manager
Copa America finalist 1995 as manager
Copa America winner 1997 as manager
Confederations Cup winner 1997 as manager
World Cup second place 1998 as manager

Just sayin’.

Would take Cruyff every time. For me he’s the best player who ever played, and not only that a quality manager as well.

Player-manager? Just one: Kenny Dalglish!

He managed Liverpool to titles _whilst_ playing on the pitch.
