Clubs and coaching stations

Jairzinho started his active football career in 1957 with Botafogo Rio de Janeiro , to which he remained loyal until 1974 (Brazilian runner-up in 1972) before he moved to the French first division club Olympique Marseille , with whom he immediately became French runner-up. Two years later, the Brazilian went back to his home country to Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte to win the Copa Libertadores , the most important South American club cup. He then played for Jorge Wilstermann and FC Cochabamba in Bolivia before finally ending his career with Portuguesa FC in Venezuela . He then began a career as a coach. During the qualification for the soccer world championship 2006 he was national coach of the Gabonese national soccer team .

National team

From 1964 to 1982, the striker played 81 international matches (33 goals) and reached the finals of the World Cup with Brazil in 1966, 1970 and 1974 . In 1964, the so-called Taça das Nações took place in Brazil , a mini-tournament with Brazil, England, Argentina and Portugal. Jairzinho played his first games for Brazil and scored twice. The 1966 World Cup tournament was disappointing for the Brazilians. The two-time world champion failed in the preliminary round. Jairzinho, who was on the pitch from start to finish in every game, failed to score. The 1970 World Cup in Mexico was the high point of his footballing life: Brazil won all qualifying and all final round matches and was the sovereign world champion. Jairzinho scored three times in qualifying. He contributed a goal to Brazil's world championship title at the 1970 final at the Aztec Stadium in Mexico . Jairzinho repeated the performance of Just Fontaine ( World Cup 1958 ) at this World Cup and scored at least one goal in every game in a World Cup. Gerd Müller from Germany won the top scorer's crown, but Jairzinho was one of the stars of the World Cup alongside Pele. In 1972 the Taça Independência took place in Brazil , a tournament with 18 national teams and 2 continental representatives. Brazil won the tournament and Jairzinho scored the winning goal to beat Portugal 1-0 in the final. Overall, he scored twice in the tournament. In 1974 at the World Cup in Germany, Brazil finished fourth and Jairzinho scored two goals in the tournament.

The group produced by Jan-Eric Kohrs , which consisted of the six former Brazilian world champions Jairzinho, Brito, Altair (el magro), Jair da Costa, Roberto Miranda and Marco Antonio, sang Brazilian samba and bossa nova classics and went international released.
