 Arthur Antunes Coimbra, plus connu sous le nom de Zico<\/span>, est un c\u00e9l\u00e8bre footballeur br\u00e9silien n\u00e9 le 3 mars 1953.<\/p>\n

Pour beaucoup, il est le meilleur joueur Br\u00e9silien de tous les temps avec, entre autres, Pel\u00e9<\/a>, Garrincha<\/a>, Rivelino, Romario<\/a> et Ronaldo<\/a>. A un moment de sa carri\u00e8re on l’a d’ailleurs appel\u00e9 le Pel\u00e9 blanc. Malheureusement pour lui, c’est avec Michel Platini l’un des meilleurs footballeurs \u00e0 n’avoir jamais gagn\u00e9 la Coupe du monde de football (le Br\u00e9sil a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9limin\u00e9 au 2\u00e8 tour en 1978 et 1982, et par l’\u00e9quipe de France en quarts de finale en 1986).<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
N\u00e9 le 3 mars 1953, Zico est d’origine modeste, il a pass\u00e9 sa jeunesse dans un quartier de Quintino Rio de Janeiro<\/a>.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Il fit partie d’une famille de footballeurs, son p\u00e8re \u00e9tait gardien de but, trois de ses fr\u00e8res ont fait aussi une carri\u00e8re professionnelle, son fr\u00e8re Edu a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 la Coupe du monde 1974.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Comme tous les jeunes Br\u00e9siliens, il a jou\u00e9 tr\u00e8s jeune au football puis il a eu l’occasion de passer un test pour le club de Flamengo, c’est ainsi que sa carri\u00e8re de future vedette du football mondial a commenc\u00e9.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Sa carri\u00e8re avec le club de Flamengo a d\u00e9but\u00e9 en 1973. On le surnommait ‘Galinho de Quintino’. Zico a jou\u00e9 principalement pour le club de CR Flamengo, mais il a effectu\u00e9 aussi un court passage dans le championnat Italien de s\u00e9rie A \u00e0 Udinese.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Zico a permis au club de Flamengo d’atteindre les sommets au Br\u00e9sil<\/a> et en Am\u00e9rique du Sud avec, entre autres, en 1981 une victoire dans la Copa Libertadores<\/a>, la coupe intercontinentale en 1981 et 4 titres de champion du Br\u00e9sil.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Il fut transf\u00e9r\u00e9 pendant 2 ans, de 1983 \u00e0 1985 au club d’Udinese, en Italie, ce qui a permis \u00e0 ce club de bien progresser dans la s\u00e9rie A, mais sans gagner de titre.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Par la suite il retourna \u00e0 son club d’origine de CR Flamengo, mais avec moins de r\u00e9ussite car sa carri\u00e8re fut alors perturb\u00e9e par plusieurs blessures.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
En 1987 il permit \u00e0 CR Flamengo de gagner un nouveau titre de champion du Br\u00e9sil, le quatri\u00e8me pour lui.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Il fit ses d\u00e9buts avec l’\u00e9quipe du Br\u00e9sil en 1976 et joua jusqu’en 1986.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Zico a cumul\u00e9 88 s\u00e9lections en \u00e9quipe du Br\u00e9sil (dont 72 officielles) et a marqu\u00e9 66 buts (52 officiels). Il a particip\u00e9 aux Coupe du monde 1978, Coupe du monde 1982 et Coupe du monde 1986.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Sa carri\u00e8re sera aussi marqu\u00e9e par un penalty manqu\u00e9 en cours d’un match d’anthologie contre de l’\u00e9quipe de France \u00e0 Guadalajara<\/a> (Mexique) en quart de finale de la Coupe du monde 1986. Alors qu’il y avait \u00e9galit\u00e9 au score (1-1), Zico a manqu\u00e9 le penalty qui aurait permis la qualification du Br\u00e9sil en demi-finale (le score \u00e9tant de parit\u00e9 en fin de match, les \u00e9quipes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9partag\u00e9es par une s\u00e9ance de tirs au buts, Zico a tir\u00e9 de nouveau et a marqu\u00e9, contrairement \u00e0 un autre illustre joueur Br\u00e9silien, Socrates qui a \u00e9chou\u00e9 et a ainsi contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 l’\u00e9chec du Br\u00e9sil contre la France).<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Il occupait le poste de milieu offensif, avec le num\u00e9ro 10, son jeu des deux pieds lui permettait de distribuer efficacement le ballon vers ses partenaires de l’attaque. C’\u00e9tait aussi un tr\u00e8s bon organisateur du jeu de son \u00e9quipe et un excellent tireur de coup-francs.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Lorsque la carri\u00e8re de Zico a pris fin, en 1989 pour ce qui concerne l’\u00e9quipe du Br\u00e9sil et en 1990 avec le club de CR Flamengo, il devint le 1er directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral au Secr\u00e9tariat National du sport Br\u00e9silien en 1990. Cette reconversion d\u00e9montrait toute la confiance et l’admiration dont il b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiait au Br\u00e9sil. Sa contribution principale fut la l\u00e9gislation de l’activit\u00e9 sportive dans un domaine o\u00f9 les \u00e9quipes sont davantage g\u00e9r\u00e9es comme des associations et non pas comme des clubs professionnels.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Par la suite, il eut une mission encore plus importante puis qu’il prit pratiquement en charge l’implantation du football au Japon, en tant que directeur technique, entra\u00eeneur et joueur. A partir de 1991, il d\u00e9veloppa l’\u00e9quipe des Kashima Antlers qui fut promue de 2\u00e8 division en (premi\u00e8re) Ligue J.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Sa carri\u00e8re de joueur termin\u00e9e en 1994, il devint directeur technique des Kashima Antlers. A noter que le stade de Kashima avait \u00e9t\u00e9 retenu pour la Coupe du monde 2002.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
En parall\u00e8le, Zico cr\u00e9a en 1995 son propre club au Br\u00e9sil : Clube de Futebol Zico (Zico Football Club).<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
En Juillet 2002, Zico est devenu s\u00e9lectionneur de l’\u00e9quipe du Japon, il permit \u00e0 l’\u00e9quipe du Japon de gagner la Coupe d’Asie 2004 (la 3\u00e8 pour le Japon) et de se qualifier pour la Coupe du monde 2006.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Apr\u00e8s avoir d\u00e9missionn\u00e9 de son poste \u00e0 la suite de l’\u00e9limination pr\u00e9coce de l’\u00e9quipe nationale japonaise lors de ce tournoi, Zico signa un contrat de deux ans avec le club turc de Fenerbahce dont il est actuellement le coach.<\/div>\n
