My Take
Perrin is the kind of manager I quietly respect more than the celebrity coaches. Dragging Troyes from the fourth tier all the way to Ligue 1 and a UEFA Cup spot, capped by the Intertoto Cup, is the unglamorous, foundation-building work that rarely gets headlines but defines real coaching. I rate builders over inheritors of ready-made squads. There is a craftsman's patience in that trajectory, a man from small-town Lure imposing structure and belief on an underdog club. His career may lack flash, but the substance behind it is exactly what I value in the dugout.
