Zagallo was succeeded by Vanderlei Luxemburgo, who led Brazil to victory in the 1999 Copa America, defeating Uruguay 3-0 in the final. Émerson Leão then took over, recalling Romário and attempting to build a team of talented young players around him. However, his tenure was marked by a disappointing quarter-final elimination in the 2001 Copa America against Honduras and a fourth-place finish in the 2001 Confederations Cup, where Brazil fielded a squad without its European-based stars. Following Leão's dismissal, Luiz Felipe Scolari assumed the role of Brazil's coach. Despite a challenging qualification campaign for the 2002 World Cup, Brazil emerged triumphant in the tournament, defeating Germany 2-0 in the final. Ronaldo played a crucial role in the victory, scoring a decisive brace in the final in Tokyo, supported by Rivaldo and the emerging star Ronaldinho, with Cafu and Roberto Carlos providing impetus on the wings. Among the reserves in that squad was the 20-year-old Kaká, who later achieved success with Carlo Ancelotti's Milan. Captain Cafu made history by playing in his third consecutive World Cup final.
