My Take
Bernard Casoni gives me a quiet kind of satisfaction. Born in Cannes, a name synonymous with glamour, he built his life as a hard-nosed defender, anchoring Olympique Marseille and standing for France at Euro 1992. Defenders rarely get the headlines forwards do, but I have always rated the players who win matches from the back, unglamorous and indispensable. That he moved into coaching afterward, passing his know-how to the next generation, fits the profile perfectly. There is something deeply honest about a career built on stopping others from shining, and I respect the craft of it more than the spotlight.
