1998 Brazil Squad Aftermath
Description
Brazil’s 1998 World Cup squad, loaded with legends like Ronaldo, Cafu, and Roberto Carlos, looked invincible—until France stunned them 3-0 in the final. But the story doesn’t end there: from coaching roles for Taffarel and Dida to philanthropy with Cafu, fitness fame for Zé Roberto, and political careers for Bebeto and Edmundo, the stars forged unique paths. Ronaldo eventually redeemed himself with a 2002 World Cup win and a Spanish club ownership. Even manager Zagallo, who led Brazil to 1970 glory, stepped down after 98 and passed away at 92, leaving an indelible mark on football history.
