CroatianA little bit of a FIFA World Cup history.
Here is the list of the people who played but also were managers at the FIFA World Cup finals. The list include all of them who took part as footballers (were on the squad list of any national team) at any WC finals and were later coaches/managers of another (mostly the same) national team. For most of them it includes their native country. For example: Mario Zagallo played for Brazil in the WC and was later their manager at the WC.
First one of them is Milorad Arsenijević who played for Yugoslavia in the first edition of the FIFA World Cup in 1930 and was later their manager in 1950. Second one is also Yugoslavian Aleksandar Tirnanić, Milorad's teammate back in 1930 and his successor as the national team manager who took part in the next two editions: 1954 and 1958. Next one would be Guillermo Stabile, Karel Kolsky, Aurelio Gonzalez etc.
