Legacies of Great Men in World Soccer

The volume reconstructs the significance of the legacies of some of the greatest achievers in world soccer, who not only represent their national identity at the global stage, but also highlight the proven role of the players, coaches or managers in projecting a global image. In other words, the work will show that the true heroes, icons and legends of the world’s most popular sport have always floated at a transnational global space, transcending the limits of space, identity or culture of a nation._x005F_x005F_x000D_ This book was published as a special issue of Soccer and Society.
