Havana, September 2 (PL)-- Brazilian soccer legend Mário Jorge Lobo Zagallo, 92, received today  medical discharge after being hospitalized for about three weeks due to a urinary infection.   "Thanks for the love (...) I'm back," Zagallo said in a video posted on social networks, in which the former sports star appears in a wheelchair as he enters his home.


Zagallo was admitted on August 15 to the Barra D'Or health center, in the west zone of Rio de Janeiro, under the care of doctor Márcia Ladeira, who has been taking care of the former player and coach for two decades.

The ex-football star won four world titles as a player and in technical positions.

As an athlete, he won two World Cups, in Sweden - 1958 and Chile - 1962. He was also on the technical committee for the Mexico-1970 and United States-1994 titles.

During his career as a soccer player, he played for clubs such as Botafogo, Flamengo and América-RJ. As a coach, in addition to Rubro-Negro and Alvinegro, he managed Fluminense, Vasco da Gama, Al Hilal and the national teams of Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.
