My Take

I have a soft spot for goalkeepers who become managers, and Alain Casanova fits the mold perfectly. A keeper spends ninety minutes alone at the back, reading the whole pitch and organizing everyone in front of him, so the leap to the dugout feels less like a career change than a natural extension of the job. He may never have scored the spectacular goals, but the patient, structural work of a man who guarded the last line for years is exactly the kind of craftsmanship I respect. I would happily watch a team he builds from the back.
