Brazilian National Soccer Team coach Vicente Feola has signed this 1958 World Cup sticker album in two places. Feola, the manager of Brazilian club Sao Paulo, led Brazil to their first of five World Cup titles in 1958 in Sweden. Feola brought in the 17-year old Pele to the World Cup squad, revitalizing the selecao with his blend of youthful energy and technical mastery. Brazil defeated host nation Sweden 5-2 in the tournament final behind a brace of goals from the Santos wunderkind. Feola also managed Brazil in 1966, finishing his tenure as selecao coach with 55 wins in 74 games. Feola has signed this sticker album twice, once on the cover in blue pen and a second time on the page of the booklet bearing his profile and that of Brazil doctor Hilton Gosling. This sticker album is in good condition.
