Zico(2)
Administrative roles
Zico was a director at Kashima Antlers between 1996 and 2002.[67]
On 30 May 2010, it was announced that Zico would become the new Flamengo football director on a four-year deal, coming back to the team where he won his most important honors after 25 years. This comeback, however, lasted only five months as he resigned due to disagreements with the board.
On 10 June 2015, Zico officially announced he would run for the FIFA presidency role after the recent announcement of Sepp Blatter's resignation following the alleged corruption surrounding the winning bids from Russia and Qatar to host the 2018 and 2022 tournaments.
In August 2018, Zico returned to Kashima Antlers as technical director, 16 years after his previous spell as a director at the club.
Personal life
Zico is the grandson of Fernando Antunes Coimbra (paternal grandfather) and Arthur Ferreira da Costa Silva (maternal grandfather), both Portuguese. His father, José Antunes Coimbra, also Portuguese (b. Tondela, 1901; d. Rio de Janeiro, 1986), came to Brazil aged 10. Zico's mother, Matilde Ferreira da Silva Costa, was born in 1919 but died 16 years after her husband in 2002.
Zico was the youngest of six children—Maria José (Zezé), Antunes, Nando, Edu and Antônio (Tonico).
In 1969 Zico met his future wife, Sandra Carvalho de Sá. In 1970 the couple became engaged and married in 1975.[69][70][71] Sandra's sister, Sueli, is Edu's wife. Zico has three sons, Arthur Jr., Bruno and Thiago.[72] Zico is also a member of the legendary squad Classic Eleven from the FIFA video games series. Zico is Roman Catholic.
