It was the West German Franz Beckenbauer who was the coach in 1990 in Italy and played in 1974.

Mário Zagallo was in fact the first person to accomplish this with Brazil. He played in the 1958 and 1962 World Cups of which he both won. He went on to coach the legendary 1970 Brazil team to World Cup victory in Mexico. He also coached his country in the 1974 and 1998 World Cups.

I believe Franz Beckenbauer was the second man to achieve this feat and the first European to do so.
