In the same year, Zoff placed fifth in the UEFA Golden Jubilee Poll, and was elected as Italy's golden player of the past 50 years. In 2004, Pelé named Zoff as one of the 100 greatest living footballers. With 112 caps, he is the sixth most capped player for the Italy national team. He holds the record for the longest playing time without allowing goals in international tournaments (1,142 minutes) set between 19. Zoff was a goalkeeper of outstanding ability, and he has a place in the history of the sport among the very best in this role, being named the third greatest goalkeeper of the 20th century by the IFFHS behind Lev Yashin and Gordon Banks. He also achieved great club success with Juventus, winning six Serie A titles, two Coppa Italia titles, and a UEFA Cup, also reaching two European Champions' Cup finals in the 1972––83 seasons, as well as finishing second in the 1973 Intercontinental Cup final. Zoff is the only Italian player to have won both the World Cup and the European Championship.
He also won the award for best goalkeeper of the tournament and was elected to the team of the tournament for his performances, keeping two clean-sheets, an honour he also received after winning the 1968 European Championship on home soil. He is the oldest ever winner of the World Cup, which he earned as captain of the Italian national team in the 1982 tournament, at the age of 40 years, 4 months and 13 days.
